Ingredients
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
6 oz imitation crab meat (or real crab), finely chopped
-
1 green onion, finely sliced
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
½ tsp soy sauce (optional)
-
20–24 wonton wrappers
-
1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
-
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
1️⃣ Make the filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, chopped crab meat, green onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce (if using) until smooth and well combined.
2️⃣ Assemble the Rangoons: Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Brush the edges with beaten egg, then fold into a triangle or pinch all corners together to form a pouch. Press edges to seal tightly.
3️⃣ Heat oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
4️⃣ Fry the Rangoons: Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5️⃣ Serve: Serve hot with sweet and sour sauce, duck sauce, or soy sauce for dipping.
Notes
-
Make ahead: Fill and shape rangoons, then refrigerate or freeze before frying.
-
Baking option: For a lighter version, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes until crisp.
