Description

Crispy wontons filled with a creamy mixture of crab and cream cheese, perfect for appetizers and gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 oz imitation crab (diced)
  • 12 oz wonton wraps
  • 2 cups oil for frying (soybean, canola, or vegetable)
  • 2 sprigs of scallions (sliced)


Instructions

  1. Combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  2. Fold in the diced imitation crab and sliced scallions gently.
  3. Take a wonton wrapper and place about a teaspoon of the filling in the center.
  4. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water to seal it.
  5. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a triangle and pinch the edges to seal.
  6. Heat oil in a deep frying pan until it reaches about 350°F.
  7. Carefully drop a few Crab Rangoon into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing. Fry in small batches for even cooking.
