Crispy Puffs with sauce These little crispy pockets of tuna and cream cheese are an excellent appetizer or side to a meal. I came up with them because I adore crab rangoons, but don't always have those ingredients handy. I always have tuna and cream cheese around! These can be pan fried or baked. I've added both methods in this recipe.

I used gyoza wrappers here because I like they're a bit thicker, but you can also use wonton wrappers.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Yield: 25 puffs

Ingredients:

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 ounces canned tuna
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp soy sauce
sweet and sour sauce, for serving
25 gyoza wrappers

Steps:

Place all ingredients (except gyoza wrappers) into a bowl and mix.

Place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each gyoza wrapper.

Dab a bit of water around the edges of a wrapper with your finger.

Fold in half, keeping the filling in the center with your fingers, then crimp the edges shut with your fingernail.

To pan-fry, add a couple tablespoons of oil to a pan over medium-high heat, and add dumplings in a single layer. Cook a couple minutes, until downside is golden.
