   • 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 375°F. Fry the Crab Rangoon until golden brown, ensuring they’re submerged during frying. Drain and keep warm in a 220°F oven.
   • Baking: Preheat oven to 425°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.
