Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup crab meat (fresh, canned, or imitation)
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 package wonton wrappers (about 40 pieces)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Optional: chili flakes or extra herbs
Instructions
- Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire, and sugar until smooth.
- Fill Wrappers: Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Seal: Moisten edges with water, fold diagonally or into rangoon shape, and press to seal.
- Fry: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry 4–5 rangoons at a time for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Enjoy hot with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or chili dip.
Notes
- Fresh crab offers the best flavor, but imitation works for budget-friendly versions.
- Seal edges tightly to prevent bursting during frying.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches for crisp results.
- For a lighter option, bake at 375°F or air fry at 370°F for 8–10 minutes.
- Best served immediately while hot and crispy.
