Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 8 oz Crab meat (lump or imitation, finely chopped)
- 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Soy sauce
- 30 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 large Egg (beaten, for sealing wrappers)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, minced garlic, and soy sauce. Stir until well blended and set aside.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the crab filling to the center of the wrapper.
Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper lightly with the beaten egg.
Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal while ensuring there are no air pockets. Alternatively, bring all corners together to form a pouch and press to seal tightly.
Repeat the process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Make sure the oil is deep enough to fully submerge the wontons.
Carefully add the wontons to the hot oil in small batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes, or until the wontons are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the Crab Rangoon warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce or Thai chili sauce.
