Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz crab meat (fresh or imitation)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well.
- Place 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Seal the wrappers by folding them into a triangle or pouch shape, using a bit of water to help seal the edges.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry Crab Rangoon for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy, turning occasionally.
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, double fry the Crab Rangoon.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and reheat in an oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
- For a healthier alternative, try air frying the Crab Rangoon at 375°F for 8-10 minutes.
