Description
Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, these homemade crab rangoons are the perfect bite-sized treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 cup Crab Meat, fresh or canned
- 2 Green Onions, chopped
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Soy Sauce
- Wonton Wrappers
- Oil for Frying
- Sweet Chili Sauce for Serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the crab meat, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Use a fork to mix until the filling is smooth and evenly combined.
- Assemble the Rangoon: Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Spoon a small amount (about a teaspoon) of the filling into the center of each wrapper. Be careful not to overfill!
- Seal the Edges: Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your fingers or a pastry brush. Fold the wrapper in half, creating a triangle, and press the edges firmly to seal.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep pan or fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry in Batches: Carefully drop the crab rangoon into the hot oil, frying in batches for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the rangoon with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels or a wire rack to drain excess oil. Serve warm with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
Notes
For a healthier version, you can air-fry these dumplings or bake them in the oven. Make the filling in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
