16 Wonton wrappers

Preheat the fryer. In a mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, minced red
onions, 1 teaspoon of garlic, cilantro and cream cheese. Mix
thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. Place a tablespoon of the
filling in the center of each wonton. Lightly brush the edges of the
wonton with water. Fold one corner of the wonton to the other,
forming a triangle. Sealing the wontons completely. Bring the two
corners of the triangle together and press the ends together to seal
completely. Fold down the tip of the triangle down to form the shape
of a wonton. Set the wontons aside. In a mixing bowl, whisk the lime
juice, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and sesame oil together. In a
large mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients together. Toss
the greens with the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Cover
the bowl and place in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. Fry the
wontons in the hot oil until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove
from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with salt and
pepper. To assemble, mound the greens in the center of each plate.
Arrange four wontons around each mound of greens. Garnish with
parsley. This recipe yields 4 servings.
