  • Total Time: 20-35 minutes
  • Yield: 18 pieces 1x

Ingredients

Scale

140 grams (5 ounces) drained crab meat (canned, fresh, or packaged)

113 grams (4 ounces) softened cream cheese

1 green onion finely sliced

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

18 wonton wrappers

Instructions

1-Getting Crab Rangoon just right starts with mixing the filling, and it’s simpler than you might think. Begin by combining 140 grams of drained crab meat with 113 grams of softened cream cheese, one finely sliced green onion, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon soy sauce if you like, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a bowl. Stir until smooth for that creamy texture everyone loves.

2-Next, lay out your 18 wonton wrappers and add about a teaspoon of filling in the center of each. To seal, fold them into triangles and then fold the edges inward to keep the filling secure. This step helps prevent leaks during cooking, as mentioned in the tips for best results.

3-Now for cooking: Heat 1 inch of oil to 325Β°F and fry the wontons for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy, then drain on paper towels. For healthier options, spray with cooking spray and bake at 425Β°F for 12-14 minutes or air fry at 370Β°F for 7-9 minutes. Each method gives you that satisfying crunch without much hassle.

4-First, prepare the filling by mixing all ingredients until smooth. Second, place the filling on the wrappers and seal them tightly. Third, heat your chosen cooking method and cook until done.
