Note
Keep unrolled wonton skins covered with a damp towel while assembling to prevent them from drying out and cracking.
You can substitute imitation crab meat for lump crab meat if fresh crab is unavailable or too expensive.
For a gluten-free option, ensure your soy sauce is tamari and use gluten-free wonton wrappers if available.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350ðF for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
