Ingredients

For the Filling
  • 8 oz 1/3 fat cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Greek yogurt or light sour cream
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ c crab meat, minced
For the Rangoon
  • 20 small (3 inch) wonton wrappers* (Make your own or find them in the cold case in your grocery’s produce section.)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425F.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together all filling ingredients until smooth.
  3. Spoon 1 Tbsp of filling just off center of each of the wonton wrappers. Using your finger or a small brush, moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper over and press the edges together to seal in the filling.
  4. Place filled crab rangoon on a greased baking sheet.
  5. Give the un-baked crab rangoon a spritz with some cooking spray, or brush them lightly with oil.
  6. Bake the crab rangoon for 15-17 minutes, until golden brown.
  7. Let the crab rangoon cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. (The filling gets quite hot.)
  8. Enjoy plain or with some Healthy Sweet and Sour Sauce.

Notes

  • To Freeze For Later: Place filled (unbaked) crab rangoon on a parchment lined baking sheet. Freeze them on the baking sheet for 2 hours, until firm. Then, remove the frozen crab rangoon from the baking sheet and place them in a seal-able container or bag. Return them to the freezer until you are ready to serve them. (They will last up to 2 months in the freezer.)
  • To Bake From Frozen: Place the frozen crab rangoon on a baking sheet in a preheated, 450F oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden. (Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. The filling will be hot!)
