If you’ve ever been to a Chinese restaurant, you’ve likely encountered these golden, crispy pockets of creamy goodness: fried cheese wontons. Sometimes called cream cheese wontons or crab rangoon (when made with crab), these little parcels are the ultimate party appetizer\u2014crunchy on the outside, warm and melty on the inside, and completely addictive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The filling is a simple blend of cream cheese, a touch of sugar, and a hint of garlic and onion, creating a savory-sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with sweet chili sauce or sweet and sour sauce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The best part? They come together in minutes with store-bought wonton wrappers. Fry them up for game day, potlucks, or any time you’re craving that irresistible takeout experience at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For the Cheese Wontons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon garlic powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bc teaspoon onion powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped (optional)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 24 square wonton wrappers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Water or beaten egg, for sealing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Neutral oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Optional Add-Ins:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • \u00bc cup imitation crab meat, finely chopped (for crab rangoon)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u00bc cup cooked small shrimp, finely chopped<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      For Serving:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Sweet chili sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Sweet and sour sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Duck sauce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        1. Make the Filling:<\/strong> In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, green onions (if using), and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined. If adding crab or shrimp, fold it in now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        2. Prepare the Wonton Wrappers:<\/strong> Lay the wonton wrappers on a clean work surface. Keep them covered with a damp paper towel to prevent drying out. Have a small bowl of water or beaten egg ready for sealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        3. Fill and Seal:<\/strong> Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Dip your finger in water or egg wash and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Press out any air bubbles. For a traditional “money bag” shape, bring the two opposite corners together and pinch. Place on a parchment-lined tray and keep covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        4. Heat the Oil:<\/strong> In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 to 3 inches of oil to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Use a deep-fry thermometer for accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        5. Fry the Wontons:<\/strong> Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, carefully add the wontons to the hot oil. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider skimmer and drain on a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        6. Serve:<\/strong> Arrange the fried cheese wontons on a serving platter. Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/div>\n\n\n\n
        \n
