Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor boost, consider adding chopped green onions or bell peppers to the filling. If you prefer a lighter option, substitute low-fat ricotta cheese and use fresh crab meat instead of imitation crab. For an extra crunch, you can also lightly pan-fry the won tons before baking. This recipe can be easily adapted to include other seafood or vegetables based on your preference.
Serving Suggestions
These baked won tons make a great appetizer or snack and pair wonderfully with a sweet chili dipping sauce. For a complete meal, serve them alongside a fresh salad or steamed vegetables. They also complement well with Asian-inspired sides such as fried rice or a light soup, enhancing the overall dining experience.
