Crispy wonton wrappers filled with creamy crab and cream cheese make these homemade crab rangoons an irresistible appetizer perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup (120 g) diced crab meat (fresh, canned, or imitation)
  • 8 oz (225 g) softened cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Vegetable oil (or canola oil) for frying
  • Sweet and sour sauce for dipping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, diced crab meat, chopped green onions, garlic powder, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
  2. Prepare the wonton wrappers: Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
  3. Seal the wontons: Dip your finger in water and run it along the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper into a triangle or bring all corners together to form a pouch. Press firmly to seal the edges.
  4. Heat the oil: Add vegetable oil to a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, filling about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Fry the crab rangoons: Carefully place the wontons into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pot to ensure even cooking.
  6. Drain and cool: Remove the fried crab rangoons with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve: Plate the crab rangoons and serve with sweet and sour sauce for dipping.

Notes

For a lighter version, bake the crab rangoons instead of frying. Use softened cream cheese for a smooth filling and avoid overfilling the wonton wrappers to prevent tearing.
