Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 2 tablespoons scallions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 30 pieces wonton wrappers
- as needed for sealing water
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped artichoke hearts, scallions, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well blended and smooth.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of the wrapper.
With a fingertip dipped in water, moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper.
Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, ensuring the filling is sealed inside by pressing the edges firmly together.
Repeat the filling and folding process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dipping a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully add a few filled wontons to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the rangoons until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the fried rangoons with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining rangoons.
Serve the vegetarian crab rangoons warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy dipping sauce.
