Ingredients
๐ฆ 8 oz cream cheese, softened
๐ฆ 8 oz crab meat (fresh or canned) (or fake crab), chopped
๐ฟ 2 green onions, finely chopped
๐ง 1 teaspoon garlic powder
๐ถ๏ธ 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
๐ 1 teaspoon lemon juice
๐ฅ 30 wonton wrappers
๐ฅ 1 egg, beaten
๐ฅข Oil for frying
๐ง Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1- Prepare the Filling:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2- Fill the Wontons:
Place a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the crab mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Brush the edges of the wrapper with a beaten egg.
Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal.
For a more decorative look, bring the two opposite corners of the triangle together and seal with a little more egg.
Repeat with remaining wrappers.
3- Fry the Crab Rangoon:
Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).
Gently place several rangoons into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
4- Serve:
- Arrange the crispy crab rangoons on a platter and serve warm with sweet and sour sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping.
