0.5 teaspoon light soy sauce

0.5 each green onions, finely sliced
1 each large clove garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon red onion, chopped
1 each clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoon oil
0.5 cup Hoisin sauce
3 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon Soy sauce
0.25 teaspoon (or more) hot sauce or red pepper flakes
2 tablespoon chopped peanuts ( garnish )
0.75 cup of canned dark-red kidney beans
0.25 cup of the bean liquid
3 tablespoon of molasses (treacle)
3 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoon of red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
2 teaspoon of five-spice powder
2 teaspoon of yeast extract
Directions:
1. Directions for Pillows:
2. Combine the crab, avocado and the cream cheese. Mix in the remaining filling ingredients one at a time.
3. On a flat surface, lay out a won ton wrapper in front of you so that it forms a diamond shape. Wet the edges of the won ton.
4. Add a heaping teaspoon of filling to the middle, and spread it out toward the left and right points of the diamond so that it forms a log or rectangular shape (otherwise the wrapper may break in the middle during deep-frying).
5. Fold over the edges of the wrapper so that it forms a triangle shape. Seal the edges, adding more water if needed.
6. Cover the completed Pillow with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out while preparing the rest.
7. Heat wok and add oil for deep-frying. When oil is ready (the temperature should be between 360 - 375 degrees), carefully slide in the Pillow, taking care not to overcrowd the wok. Deep-fry until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes, turning once. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Cool the pillow before serving.
8. To make ahead of time, prepare the filling and stuff the won tons and freeze without deep-frying. When ready to cook, thaw before deep-frying.)
9. Hoisin Dipping Sauce:
10. Saute garlic in oil until fragrant.
11. Stir in remaining ingredients except peanuts. Remove from heat and let cool. Divide among individual bowls. Sprinkle with peanuts.
12. Traditional Dipping Sauce:
13. Use a blender or food processor to mix all of the ingredients into a puree.
14. Place a strainer (sieve) over a mixing bowl. Pour the pureed ingredients into the strainer, and use the back of a wooden spoon to press them through into the bowl. Discard any bean skins left in the strainer.
15. Pour the sauce into a jar with a tight fitting lid and refrigerate. (Will keep for about seven days).
