Description
Homemade Crab Rangoon are crispy wontons filled with a creamy mixture of crab meat, cream cheese, and seasonings, perfect as an appetizer or party snack.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 6 oz lump crab meat (or imitation crab), chopped
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 20-25 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the filling to the center.
- Brush the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg. Fold the wrapper into a triangle or bring corners together to form a traditional Rangoon shape, pressing edges to seal.
- Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wontons in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with sweet and sour sauce or your favorite dip.
Notes
- Use real crab meat for best flavor, but imitation works in a pinch.
- Make sure oil is hot enough to avoid greasy wontons.
- Can be baked or air-fried for a healthier option.
