Ingredients
- 8 ounces Crab Meat or chopped imitation crab
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 green onions sliced
- 20 wonton wrappers
- oil for frying
Instructions
- Place the crab meat, cream cheese, worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt and green onions in a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
- Preheat approximately 4 inches of oil in a large pan over medium high heat until the oil reaches 325 degrees F.
- Then assemble the rangoons by placing approximately 2 teaspoons of the crab mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Dab the edges of each wrapper with a small amount of water. Fold up each opposite corner of the wrappers to the center and pinch all the corners together to form a square. Continue this process until all the wrappers and crab mixture are used.
- Drop the wontons into the oil and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Turn them as needed to make sure they are evenly browned. Fry in batches so you do not crowd the pan. I usually fry 5-6 at a time.
- Remove from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Continue this process until all the rangoons are fried.
- Serve while warm with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy.

Notes
- In order to bake the crab rangoon instead of frying, bake it at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes until they are lightly browned. Make sure to watch the oil while frying and monitor the temperature, if the oil gets over 370 degrees F, the wonton wrapper will likely burn.
- Make sure to securely pinch together the corners of the wonton papers so they do not come apart while cooking.
- Canned or fresh lump crab meat works best in this recipe but you can use imitation crab meat if you prefer.
