Disappointing. I halved the posted recipe, and made half without the water chestnuts because Husband wasn't keen on the idea. I preferred the batch without chestnuts, but I didn't find either kind particularly flavorsome; I could barely taste the crab at all. I won't be making these again. Thanks, anyway.

this was a great recipe. the only things i did differently was use imitation crab meat instead of the real stuff, too much of a fishy taste with the real. and for a little bit of a creamier filling i used one and a half to two things of cream cheese.and no water chestnuts

Will some changes this recipe came out really good. I took other's advice and substituted imitation crab, nixed the water chestnuts, and added plenty of green onions. Next time I will cut the crabmeat as small as possible to make creamier.

I also have been making these for years. I use the larger wonton wrappers and treat them like egg rolls when rolling. We like a pinch of crushed red pepper also for some heat.

This is definitely an awesome recipe -- with a little tweaking. I followed the previous suggestion for ignoring the water chestnuts and adding the green onion. To cut down on a >few< of the calories, I used Neufchatel instead of cream cheese (basically cream cheese but with a third of the fat). I also used spring roll wrappers instead of wontons - mostly because they were easier to roll up than to pinch all those wontons. I used imitation crab, and onlt used about 6 to 8 ounces. I recommend chopping up the green onions, garlic, and whatever else you add finely. Makes it a creamier texture.

These were great!! I did not have any problem with them falling apart during frying. They do seem to need a little more zip, so I might try adding in some green onion next time.

I was very happy with the results from this recipe, but felt that it would have turned out better with fresh crab instead of the suggested canned meat.

EXCELLENT!! I prefer lump crabmeat, so I used one can of that (rather than two), and I omitted the water chestnuts. The wontons were a bit fragile in the oil and some of them leaked, but overall they held together pretty well. They tasted awesome, too!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

This is a good basic recipe. I cut the crab down to 1/4 of a can as other reviewers suggested. I left out the water chesnuts and added a tablespoon of soy sauce. Delicious! The wontons are thinner, but I think that allows you to taste the filling more. Thanks!

Very good recipe. I did change a couple of things. I omitted the water chestnuts and added some honey, about 3 tbls to the cream cheese mixture. They are delicious with the honey in them. Thank you for sharing!

I was a little hesitant about trying out this recipe b/c of the mixed reviews, but with some tweeking, it turned out really good! I added some finely chopped green onions and used only half of ONE can crab meat for a stronger cream-cheese taste. Some people also commented that the filling was too mushy and fell apart in the oil. You can avoid this by squeezing out all the water in the crabmeat before adding to the cream cheese mixture (also results in less crabby taste). And when you moisten the wonton wrapper edges with water, you get a tight seal. None of mine fell apart in the oil... I tried various different folds and liked the triangular fold the best. This is pretty darn close to restaurant-quality!

Way too much crab. Definitely needed more cream cheese. My first batch got too dark so I fried them only 2 to 3 minutes and they were okay. They didn't taste anything like chinese restaraunts, though. I didn't like the flavor. I won't make this recipe again.

These were pretty good. I added minced green onion for a more Asian flair and did not used the water chestnuts. Good with plum sauce.
