Ingredients

  • 5 ounces crab meat drained, 1 can, can be substituted with fresh or packaged crab
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 green onion finely sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce optional
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 18 wonton wrappers
  • oil for frying

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat 1 inch of oil to 325°F over medium heat.
  2. In a small bowl, gently combine crab meat, cream cheese, green onion, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (if using), and garlic powder.
  3. Layout 3 wonton wrappers at a time. Place 2 teaspoons of the filling in the center of each. Dab the edges with water and fold the two opposite corners together to form a triangle. Wet the tips of the triangle and fold inward. Continue until all of your filling is used up.
To Deep Fry
  1. Drop the wontons into the hot oil for 2-3 minutes or until brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Notes

  • Oven Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Assemble wontons as above and spray each with cooking spray. Bake 12-14 minutes.
  • Oven Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Assemble wontons as above and spray each with cooking spray. Bake 12-14 minutes.
  • Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 370°F. Assemble wontons as above and generously spray each with cooking spray. Bake 7-9 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  • We find this recipe has the best flavor with either canned or lump crab meat. Imitation works but the flavor is not the same.
  • To stretch the filling further, you can add up to 6 oz cream cheese.
  • Drain the crab very well. Moisture can build steam and cause the rangoon to puff up as it cooks.
  • Press out as much air as possible when sealing the edges and ensure they are well sealed so the filling doesn't leak out. Do not overfill the wonton wrappers.
