Preheat the fryer. In a mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, minced red  
onions, 1 teaspoon of garlic, cilantro and cream cheese. Mix thoroughly.  
Season with salt and pepper. Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center  
of each wonton. Lightly brush the edges of the wonton with water. Fold one  
corner of the wonton to the other, forming a triangle. Sealing the wontons  
completely. Bring the two corners of the triangle together and press the  
ends together to seal completely. Fold down the tip of the triangle down to  
form the shape of a wonton. Set the wontons aside. In a mixing bowl, whisk  
the lime juice, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and sesame oil together. In a  
large mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients together. Toss the  
greens with the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the bowl and  
place in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. Fry the wontons in the hot oil  
until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a  
paper−lined plate. Season with salt and pepper. To assemble, mound the  
greens in the center of each plate. Arrange four wontons around each mound  
of greens. Garnish with parsley. This recipe yields 4 servings.
