Make rangoons; place a tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center of a wonton skin, sealing with the egg wash. Fry Rangoons, flip over and cook until golden, brown and delicious. Drain on paper towels. Meanwhile, rehydrate the mustard in water to make a paste. Whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons of crème fraiche, honey and half of the chives. Plate rangoons with sauce and garnish with chives.
