Break egg into small bowl and mix well.

Lay gyoza skins out on counter top, and spoon 1 teaspoon of crab mixture into the middle of the gyoza or wonton skin. Dip finger into beaten egg, then wipe egg around the top half edge of the gyoza skin. Fold skin in half and press bottom edge onto the egg to seal the two halfs together.
