Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup cooked crab meat, finely chopped
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Sweet chili sauce for dipping
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, chopped crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce until well combined. This rich and creamy filling will be the heart of your wontons, offering a delicious contrast to the crispy exterior.
Step 2
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and spoon about 1 teaspoon of the crab mixture into the center. Brush the edges with beaten egg, then fold the wrapper into a triangle or bring the corners together to form a little pouch, pressing firmly to seal.
Step 3
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add a few wontons at a time, frying for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 4
Serve the Crispy Crab Rangoon Wontons hot with a side of sweet chili sauce for dipping. The crunchy exterior and creamy filling make for an irresistible combination that’s sure to be a hit with your guests. Enjoy warm for the best texture and flavor.
