Let’s be real: you order Chinese takeout for the crab rangoon. Those crispy, creamy, salty-sweet little triangles that vanish in 60 seconds. This homemade version is faster than delivery, way crispier, and you can stuff them as full as you want. No skimping here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Makes 24 rangoon.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened<\/li>\n\n\n\n
6 oz (170g) lump crab meat (fresh or canned, drained well)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 green onions, finely chopped<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd tsp garlic powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n
24 wonton wrappers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Sweet chili sauce or duck sauce, for dipping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Make Filling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, crab, green onions, Worcestershire, and garlic powder until combined. Don’t overmix (keep crab chunks intact).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Fill Wontons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Place a wonton wrapper like a diamond. Add 1 teaspoon of filling to the center.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Wet edges with water. Fold into a triangle, pressing out air. Seal well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
For the classic shape, wet the two long corners and fold them together.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Fry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Heat 1 inch of oil to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Fry 4\u20135 rangoon at a time for 1\u20132 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Drain on paper towels.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Serve hot with sweet chili sauce. They wait for no one.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Prep Time:<\/strong> 20 min | Cook Time:<\/strong> 10 min | Total:<\/strong> 30 min<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make ahead:<\/strong> Assemble uncooked rangoon and freeze on a tray. Once frozen, transfer to a bag. Fry from frozen (add 1 minute). Leftovers?<\/strong> Reheat in air fryer at 375\u00b0F for 3 minutes. Never microwave (soggy sadness).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
