   • In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, soy sauce, and sugar. Whip together until smooth and creamy.
   • Fold in the chopped green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well incorporated.

2. Assemble the Crab Rangoon:

   • Heat oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat until it reaches a depth of 1 1/2 – 2 inches.
   • Place a small bowl of water on your work surface. Lay out 6 wonton wrappers and spoon approximately 1-1 1/2 teaspoons of the filling mixture into the center of each wrapper.
   • Moisten the edges of the wrappers with water to help seal them. Bring up the corners of each wrapper and pinch them together firmly, ensuring that the filling is enclosed securely.

3. Fry the Crab Rangoon:

   • Carefully place the filled wrappers into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
   • Fry the Crab Rangoon for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn a golden brown color and become crispy.
   • Once cooked, remove the Crab Rangoon from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

4. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Repeat the filling and frying process with the remaining wrappers until all the Crab Rangoon are cooked.
   • Serve the Crab Rangoon hot and crispy, garnished with additional chopped green onions or a dipping sauce of your choice.
   • Share and enjoy this delicious appetizer with friends and family!
