This chowder has a little kick. Remove the seeds and membrane from the jalapeno and go easy on the Crystal Hot sauce if you don't want a lot of spice.

Baked Crab Rangoons
4 ounces Cream Cheese
2 Green Onions, Chopped
Mix together the cream cheese, green onions, crab and Sriracha until combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the egg and water.
To assemble the wontons: place approximately 1/2 teaspoon mixture on on corner of a wonton wrapper. Paint the egg wash all around the edges of the wrapper with your finger. Roll the wrapper on a diagonal, starting with the cream cheese corner and stopping when wrapper is rolled halfway and the cream cheese mixture is inside. Bring up the two ends, twist and use the egg wash to stick them together. Allow the remaining pointed end to naturally tuck backward. They will resemble tortellini.
