Hi Christine- While I do prefer fresh crab, I know its not always possible since its so expensive. You might be surprised to know that when you order crab wontons at an Asian restaurant chances are they probably use imitation so if you want to use it in this recipe that will be fine. The instructions don’t change, simply substitute the imitation crab for the fresh crab.

can yiou do this recipe with iimitation crabmeat? if so what the instructions? i love crab but purse won’t allow the real thing all the time so i improvise Alot!!!!!! ssome things come out o.k. and somethings should be left alone and true to the recipe. i hope this one can be altered and still have that mmmmmmmmmmm! factor.

Mrs L.- I agree that the imitation stuff just isn’t that great. These should be good with canned crab though. I hope you like them! :)

Might have to try these, alas with canned crab. We looked at the prices of dungeness around here this past weekend and it was pretty dang high. We either eat fresh crab or canned, never the imitation stuff, just don’t like the taste.

I totally forgot about sweet-chili sauce. It would be wonderful with these! I hope you enjoy them :)

I’ll bet sweet-chili sauce straight out of the bottle would be great with this, too. I’m hoping to make them this weekend. They sound delicious, and yours look perfect!

Thanks Zoe! In addition to plum sauce, I like to use hot mustard. I hear that sweet and sour and soy sauce are also good options.
You’re welcome Marta! I hope that you enjoy them. Not all of mine looked this pretty btw. Its whats on the inside that counts ;-)

These look like a fantastic excuse to splurge on real crab. I have no fine-motor skills, so I guarantee mine won’t be as pretty as yours, but I will give them a try because they look delicious.
Thanks for sharing :)
