    4 garlic cloves -- minced
    2 cups celery -- diced
    1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms -- diced

  • Ingredients


    2 serving cooking spray (5 one-second sprays per serving)
    2 tsp olive oil
    2 medium garlic clove(s), minced
    2 medium scallion(s), minced
    2 Tbsp snow peas, chopped
    6 oz canned crabmeat, drained
    4 oz light cream cheese
    2 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
    24 items wonton wrapper(s), half of a 12 oz package


    Instructions


    Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.


    Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, scallions and snow peas and sauté until just tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in crabmeat, cream cheese and soy sauce with a wooden spoon; mix gently to combine.


    Place wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Drop crab mixture by teaspoonfuls onto the center of each wrapper. Dip a finger into water and use it to moisten edges of wrapper; fold over one corner of wrapper to make a triangle and press sides together to seal. Create decorative lines along the edges of the wontons by pressing the tines of a fork along the bottom edge of each wonton.


    Transfer filled wontons to prepared baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Bake until wontons are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Yields 4 crab rangoon per serving.
