Equipment
•Mixing bowl
•Spoon or spatula
•Small brush (for sealing wontons)
•Frying pan or deep fryer
•Slotted spoon
•Paper towels
Ingredients
For the Filling:
•8 oz cream cheese, softened
•6 oz crab meat (fresh, canned, or imitation)
•2 green onions, finely chopped
•1 tsp soy sauce
•½ tsp garlic powder
•½ tsp onion powder
•½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
•½ tsp sugar
For the Wontons:
•20 wonton wrappers
•1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
•Oil for frying
For Serving (Optional):
•Sweet chili sauce
•Soy sauce
•Duck sauce
Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Filling – In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar. Mix until smooth.
2️⃣ Fill the Wontons – Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Brush the edges with beaten egg, then fold into a triangle or pinch the corners together to form a classic Rangoon shape.
3️⃣ Seal & Chill – Press the edges tightly to seal. Let the wontons rest for 10 minutes before frying to prevent leaks.
4️⃣ Fry Until Golden – Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry wontons in small batches for 2-3 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy – Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce!
Storage Options
•Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep them crispy.
•Freezer: Freeze uncooked wontons in a single layer for up to 2 months. Fry from frozen or bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes.
Notes
✔️ For a lighter option, bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes or air fry at 375°F for 8 minutes.
✔️ Use real crab for the best flavor, but imitation crab works too!
✔️ Don’t overfill the wontons to prevent them from bursting during frying.
