  • Preparation Time: 30 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Servings: 24 packets, about

Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 package wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup crab meat, drained and flaked
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • Soy sauce and Chinese mustard, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Filling:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, green onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce until well blended.
    • Gently fold in the flaked crab meat, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
    • Adjust seasonings to taste, taking care not to overdo the Worcestershire and soy sauces to prevent discoloration of the cheese.
  2. Assemble the Crab Rangoon:

    • Chill the cheese mixture well before starting the assembly process.
    • Place a rounded teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton skin.
    • Moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with water and fold them in half to form triangles, ensuring to squeeze out any trapped air.
    • Moisten one bottom corner, then pull the bottom corners down and overlap slightly, pressing firmly to seal.
  3. Frying or Baking Options:

    • Deep-Frying: Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375Β°F. Fry the Crab Rangoon until golden brown, ensuring they’re submerged during frying. Drain and keep warm in a 220Β°F oven.
    • Baking: Preheat oven to 425Β°F. Arrange the filled wonton wrappers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Serve the hot Crab Rangoon with your choice of dipping sauces, such as sweet and sour, soy sauce, or hot mustard.
    • Encourage guests to try different sauces for a flavor adventure!

Tips and Variations:

  • To prevent the wonton skins from drying out, prepare only a few at a time and keep the remaining skins covered with a damp towel.
  • Experiment with different shapes: instead of triangles, fold the wonton wrappers into purse shapes or roll them into cylindrical parcels.
  • For added convenience, use a pastry bag to pipe the filling onto the wonton wrappers before folding.
  • These Crab Rangoon are best enjoyed hot and fresh, straight from the fryer or oven.
