Crispy golden crab rangoon filled with a creamy blend of crab meat and cream cheese, perfect as a party appetizer or savory snack with a satisfying crunch.


Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 6 oz cooked crab meat (fresh, canned, or imitation), finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce (optional)

  • Oil for frying

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, garlic powder, green onions, and Worcestershire or soy sauce if using. Mix until smooth.
  2. Place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
  3. Dampen the edges with water, fold into a triangle or purse shape, and seal firmly.
  4. Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Fry the rangoons in batches for 2–3 minutes, turning once, until golden and crispy.
  6. Drain on paper towels and serve warm with dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Add cayenne or hot sauce for a spicy version.
  • Bake or air fry for a lighter alternative.
  • Use lemon juice and scallions for brightness.
  • Great to prepare ahead and freeze before frying.
