Method
Preparing the Filling
- 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, finely chopped scallions, and minced jalapeño pepper. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to whip until smooth and creamy.
- 2
Gently fold in the fresh crab meat into the whipped cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Ensure not to break the crab meat pieces too much.
Assembling Rangoons
- 3
Take a wonton wrapper and place it on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crab filling into the center of the wrapper.
- 4
Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper in half to create a triangle and press the edges to seal. Then, bring the bottom corners of the triangle together to form a pouch and press to seal tightly.
- 5
Repeat the process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
Making Chili Honey
- 6
In a small bowl, combine honey and chili flakes. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
Frying Rangoons
- 7
- 8
Carefully add 4 rangoons to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- 9
Use a slotted spoon to remove the rangoons from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
