  • Author: Skyar
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 6 oz (170g) canned or fresh crab meat, drained and chopped
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For Wrapping:

  • 2025 square wonton wrappers
  • Small bowl of water (for sealing the wontons)

For Frying:

  • 2 cups vegetable oil (for deep frying)

For Dipping Sauce (Optional):

  • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon rice vinegar

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly combined.

Step 2: Prepare the Wonton Wrappers

Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Keep them covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out.

Step 3: Fill the Wontons

Place about 1 teaspoon of the crab filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.

Step 4: Seal the Wontons

Dip your finger in water and lightly moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper diagonally into a triangle or bring all four corners together to form a purse shape. Press the edges firmly to seal.

Step 5: Heat the Oil

In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Step 6: Fry the Crab Rangoon

Carefully place a few wontons into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!

Serve your crispy Crab Rangoon warm with sweet chili sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
