Ingredients

Scale

For the filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup imitation crab meat, finely chopped (or real crab if preferred)
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp soy sauce
½ tsp sugar
Salt and pepper to taste

For the wrappers:

24 wonton wrappers
Water (for sealing the edges)

For frying:

Vegetable oil (for deep frying)

For dipping (optional):

Sweet and sour sauce
Duck sauce
Thai sweet chili sauce

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the filling:
In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, chopped crab meat, green onion, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

2️⃣ Assemble the rangoons:
Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold into a triangle or bring all corners to the center and pinch to seal, ensuring there are no air bubbles.

3️⃣ Heat the oil:
In a deep pot or skillet, heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

4️⃣ Fry the rangoons:
Working in batches, carefully add the filled wontons to the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

5️⃣ Serve:
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Make sure the oil stays at the right temperature to avoid greasy rangoons.
You can bake or air fry them at 375°F (190°C) for a lighter version (brush lightly with oil before cooking).
Use real crab meat for a more authentic flavor if desired.
