Made these for our annual holiday party and they were a big hit. Only complaint from me is that they got soggy fairly quickly. I used wontons, so maybe this was the reason, but I baked them quite thoroughly. They would be great at a dinner where people ate the appetizer in an allotted space of time verses the party we had where people pick at the offerings all night.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 30 gyoza skins
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/2 cup chopped seeded tomato
- 1/2 cup light mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

- 1 pound lump crabmeat, shell pieces removed

Preparation
- 1. Preheat oven to 375°.
- 2. Combine first 3 ingredients, stirring with a whisk; brush mixture evenly over both sides of each gyoza. Fit 1 gyoza into each of 30 miniature muffin cups, pressing the gyoza firmly into base of cups. Bake at 375° for 12 minutes or until lightly browned; cool in pans on a wire rack. Carefully remove cups from pans.
