Directions:
Combine crab meat or smoked salmon, green onion, cream cheese, steak
sauce,
and garlic. Place 1/2 teaspoon of mixture in center or won ton
wrapper; fold square
over to form triangle. Lightly brush the center with the beaten egg.
Bring opposite
corners together and press gently, so filling will be secure. Place

and adjust
heat downwards if necessary. Fry rest of puffs until delicately brown,
less than
two minutes. Serve hot.
