- 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:
- 20–25 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.
