Panda Express Cream Cheese Rangoon
Description
This recipe makes classic cream cheese rangoons by combining softened cream cheese with scallions and garlic powder for flavor. The filling is spooned into wonton wrappers, which are sealed by folding and pinching the edges to create distinctive shapes. Deep frying the rangoons in hot oil until golden brown cooks the wrappers to a crisp and warms the filling to a creamy texture.
The result is a snack or appetizer with a crisp outer shell and a mildly seasoned cream cheese center. These rangoons can be served with dipping sauces or alone as a savory treat. Preparing all rangoons before frying ensures they cook evenly, starting with the ones made first to avoid moisture loss.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese , softened
- 2 tablespoons scallions , minced
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 24 wonton wrappers
- neutral cooking oil for frying, generic cooking oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix the cream cheese, scallions and garlic powder together.
- Preheat oil in a heavy bottomed pot, a couple inches high to 350 degrees.
- Put 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the middle of a wonton wrapper and with your finger add water to the edges.
- Push the four centers of each side into the middle and press them together.
- Once the middle is connected from all four sides connect the little wings coming out from the middle.
- Let sit while you make all the wontons and when you start to fry, begin with the wontons you made first, they'll be the driest.
- Cook rangoons in batches in the hot oil until golden brown (about 10 minutes total for all wontons.)
