Crab Rangoon
Crab Rangoon is a beloved dish that combines the richness of cream cheese with the sweet and delicate taste of crab. These little pockets of joy are deep-fried to golden perfection, making them an irresistible treat.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup crab meat, drained and flaked (or imitation crab)
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 package of wonton wrappers
- Oil for frying
- Sweet and sour sauce for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Stir until well blended and creamy.
- Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the crab mixture into the center of the wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little bit of water. Fold the wrapper over to create a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. You can also pinch the edges together to create a more decorative shape.
- Continue this process until all the crab mixture is used up. Lay the filled wontons on a parchment-lined tray as you prepare them.
- Heat around 2 inches of oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully drop the wontons into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the fried crab rangoon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Keep them warm while you fry the remaining wontons.
- Serve the delicious crab rangoon hot with sweet and sour sauce for dipping, if desired. Enjoy your homemade treat!
These homemade crab rangoons are bound to be a hit, whether you’re serving them at a gathering or simply enjoying them on your own. The flavorful filling wrapped in a crispy shell creates a delightful contrast that will leave your taste buds wanting more. Happy cooking!
