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

  1. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the filling to the center.
  3. 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.
  4. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
