Brush the edges of the wonton with the beaten egg.
Place a heaping teaspoon of the crab/cream cheese mixture on the center of wonton.
Fold the bottom up to to seal the wonton in a triangle shape.
Pinch the two corners of the wonton together.
Repeat with the remaining wontons until you used all the filling.

Fry 8 – 10 wontons at a time, turning 2 or 3 times until the wontons are golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Drain on paper towels.
Serve with sweet and sour sauce
For Sweet and Sour Sauce:
Heat the pineapple with syrup, sugar, 1 cup water, vinegar and soy sauce to boiling.
Mix the cornstarch with the two tablespoons cold water, stirring until thoroughly combined.
