Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 4 oz crab meat (fresh or canned)
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Additional Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil (for frying, approximately 2 cups or enough for 2 inches deep)
  • Soy sauce (optional, for mixing in filling or dipping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crab meat, finely chopped green onions, and garlic powder. Mix gently until evenly combined, taking care not to overwork and keep the texture light and fluffy.
  2. Fill the Wonton Wrappers: Place about one teaspoon of the crab filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water to help seal them, then fold each wrapper into a triangle or a classic four-corner pouch shape. Press firmly to ensure no filling leaks during cooking.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or pot to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) to achieve even frying and a golden crispy exterior.
  4. Fry Until Golden: Carefully add a few wontons at a time to the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until each side is golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  5. Serve Warm: Serve the Crab Rangoon fresh and crispy alongside sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the wonton wrappers to prevent bursting during frying.
  • Seal the edges with water properly to avoid leaks in hot oil.
  • Maintain the oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) for the best crispy results.
  • Drain fried Crab Rangoon well on paper towels to reduce greasiness.
  • Use fresh or high-quality crab meat for superior taste and texture.
