INGREDIENTS
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 4 oz crab meat, drained and flaked
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • Oil for frying
  • Sweet and sour sauce, for dipping (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well combined.
  2. Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon a teaspoon of the cream cheese and crab mixture into the center of the wrapper.
  3. Wet the wonton wrapper’s edges by dipping your finger in water. Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Avoid having any air pockets.
  4. Over medium heat, warm oil in a deep skillet or pan. Carefully place the Crab Rangoon into the hot oil, in batches, and fry until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried Crab Rangoon from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
  6. Use the remaining wonton wrappers and filling to complete the process once more.
  7. Serve the Crab Rangoon hot with sweet and sour sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
