Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese , softened
- 1 large ripe avocado peeled, pitted & diced
- 4 ounces lump crab meat
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 package wonton wrappers (appx 48)
- 1 large egg white
- Green onions (scallions) , for garnish, optional
- Neutral oil for frying
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, blend together the cream cheese, avocado, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly blended, then very gently fold in the crab meat so it stays in larger lumps. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg white with 2 tablespoons of water.
- Place 1 heaping teaspoon of the filling in the middle of a wonton wrapper. Brush the edges with the egg wash and then fold over into the shape of a triangle. Press out any air bubbles and pinch together the edges.
- In a heavy bottom saucepan or frying pan, heat the oil to 350°F.
- Gently lower 3-4 rangoons into the hot oil using a fry or metal spoon, being careful to not crowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes, flipping once, or until golden brown.
- Remove to a wire rack over a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Place in a warm oven to drain and stay warm while you complete the rest.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes
- Dipping sauces:
- Crab Rangoons are typically served with a sweet and sour sauce, duck sauce or spicy mustard, but I also sometimes make my spicy and cool pineapple sauce. Just plain soy sauce, sticky teriyaki sauce or sweet chile sauce is cool too.
- Variations:
- Rangoon can also be stuffed with Spinach Dip for a vegetarian rangoon. This is in excellent way to use up just a cup or so of leftovers.
- Air Fryer Rangoons- I made this recipe well before Air Fryers came onto the scene, but it is AF friendly. Spray or baste rangoons with oil and then fry for 5-6 minutes at 350°F, being careful not to crowd the basket.
- Baked Crab Rangoons- Heat the oven to 350°F and bake for 15-18 minutes. Spraying or basting them with oil will help them to crisp up.
- Make them spicy by adding 1/2 teaspoon of hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes to the cream cheese mixture.
