Crab Wontons
Crab wontons are deep-fried dumplings filled with crabmeat and cream cheese, which does indeed come from the east—Philadelphia, to be exact. It’s not really a thing in China as there are many people living there who are lactose intolerant. Another clue that these things aren’t exactly authentic? The dish is also called Crab Rangoon. Rangoon is the former capital of Burma (now Myanmar), which is very much not in China.
