2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Brush wonton skin with egg. Place heaping teaspoonful of crabmeat mixture in center of wonton skin. (Cover remaining skins wiht plastic wrap to keep them pliable.) Top with another wonton skin; press edges to seal. Brush egg on center of each side of puff. Make a pleat on each of 4 sides, pressing to seal. Repeat with remaining wonton skins. (Cover puffs with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out.)
Heat vegetable oil (1 1/2 inches) in wok to 350?. Fry 4 or 5 puffs at a time, 2 minutes or until golden brown, turning 2 or 3 times; drain on paper towels. Serve with a sweet-and-sour sauce if desired.
