Crab Filling
Wrappers
Frying
Method
Prepare the Crab Filling
- 1
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, crab meat, chopped green onions, garlic powder, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Use a fork or spatula to mix until smooth and well combined.
Assemble the Rangoons
- 2
Fill the Wrappers
Take a wonton wrapper and place about 1 teaspoon of the crab filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water using your finger.
- 3
Seal the Wrappers
Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle and press the edges together to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets. Then, bring the two outer corners of the triangle together and pinch to seal, forming a 'crown' shape.
- 4
Repeat
Repeat the filling and sealing process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Fry the Rangoons
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
- 6
Fry the Rangoons
Carefully add a few crab rangoons to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through.
- 7
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried rangoons with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
