Ingredients: 8 wonton wrappers; 1 tablespoon neutral oil for brushing; 6 oz fresh Dungeness crab meat (or lump crab); 2 scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced; 1 tablespoon sesame oil; ¼ teaspoon white pepper; 1 roasted red pepper (from a jar, drained and patted dry); 1 dried ají rojo or 1 teaspoon ají rojo paste; ¼ cup Greek yogurt; 1 clove garlic, minced; ½ lime; ¼ red onion, thinly sliced; 2 tablespoons rice vinegar; 1 tablespoon sugar; pinch of sea salt; 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish; 2–3 fresh cilantro leaves per cup

Homemade wonton wrappers crisped in the oven into delicate, golden cups that cradle a generous spoonful of fresh Dungeness crab tossed with scallion and sesame oil, topped with a silky ají rojo (roasted red pepper and chile) cream, and crowned with quick-pickled red onion slivers for acid and crunch. A genuinely elegant bite that surprises with its textural play and vibrant color.
