Fold the ingredients together until they're thoroughly combined.\r\n<h4>Step 2: Add the crabmeat and veggies<\/h4>\r\nAdd the crabmeat, minced water chestnuts and chopped green onions to the bowl. Continue folding the ingredients together until they're thoroughly combined.\r\n<h4>Step 3: Fold in the cheese and crumbs<\/h4>\r\nSprinkle the mozzarella, fontina and panko bread crumbs into the bowl and continue folding gently until the filling is thoroughly and evenly combined.\r\n<h4>Step 4: Shape the wontons<\/h4>\r\nHere's the fun part! Place the wonton skins onto a clean work surface or cutting board. Place a 1\/2-ounce scoop of filling onto the center of each wrapper. Lift the bottom and top flat edges of the wrapper up over the filling. Pinch the center sections of the top and bottom edges tightly together. Lift the left and right flat edges of the wrapper up over the filling. Carefully pinch the center sections of the left and right flat edges tightly together with the pinched center section of the top and bottom edges. When done correctly, the edges will remain slightly open at the four corner points, forming a flower-like shape.\r\n<h4>Step 5: Fry<\/h4>\r\nPour a generous amount of vegetable oil (enough to submerge the wontons) into a Dutch oven or deep skillet. Heat the oil to 350\u00b0F (you can use a candy thermometer to check the temperature). Carefully place the wontons, a few at a time, into the hot oil and fry them until they become golden brown and crispy.\r\n\r\n<em>Editor's Tip:<\/em> If you've <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-deep-fry-at-home-with-confidence\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">deep-fried at home<\/a> before, you'll know: Be careful not to overcrowd the oil, which can make the temperature drop, turning the wontons oily instead of crispy. Remove them from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels, then repeat until the remaining wontons are cooked.\r\n<h4>Step 6: Serve with sauce<\/h4>\r\nArrange the crispy crab wontons on a serving platter with extra sweet-and-sour chili sauce on the side for dipping.\r\n\r\n[cf]skyword_tracking_tag[\/cf]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This recipe for Cheesecake Factory crab wontons makes a delicious appetizer.
