Ingredients: 8 oz cooked soft-shell crab meat, lump picked; 12 wonton wrappers (or cut rice paper into 3-inch squares); 3 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped; 1 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped; zest of 1 lime; 1 tbsp fish sauce; 1 tsp sesame oil; pinch white pepper; 2 red bird's eye chilies, minced; 3 tbsp honey; 2 tbsp fresh lime juice; 1 tbsp water; neutral oil for frying (about 2 cups); sea salt to taste; extra cilantro for garnish

Delicate wontons stuffed with tender soft-shell crab, cilantro, and lime zest, fried until shatteringly crisp, then glazed with a glossy chili-lime reduction. Vietnamese street-food energy elevated—messy, bright, and utterly craveable as a pre-dinner spark.
