Ingredients

  • 20 wonton wrappers For wrapping the filling
  • 2.2 cups vegetable oil For frying or any neutral-tasting oil

Filling:

  • 0.83 cup imitation crab meat Chopped into 1-inch pieces or use canned crab meat drained
  • 0.55 cup cream cheese Softened for a creamy filling
  • 2.2 tablespoons green onion Finely chopped
  • 1.1 teaspoon soy sauce Regular or light for seasoning
  • 1.1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Adds umami flavor
  • 0.55 teaspoon garlic powder For flavor depth
  • 0.55 teaspoon white sugar For slight sweetness
  • 0.27 teaspoon black pepper For a bit of spice

Serve with:

  • Sweet Thai chili sauce For dipping
  • Plum sauce For dipping

Instructions

  • Combine the imitation crab meat, softened cream cheese, green onion, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, sugar, and black pepper in a large bowl.
  • Place a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Add 2 teaspoons of the filling in the center. Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water.
  • Pinch together two opposite corners of the wrapper, then seal the other corners to form a pocket. Press the edges firmly to ensure it's sealed. Repeat for the remaining filling.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat to about 325°F. Fry the filled wontons in batches, 6-7 pieces at a time, until golden and crispy, for 1.5 to 2 minutes. Flip halfway through.
  • Remove the fried wontons and let them drain on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate. Let them cool for a moment before serving with the dipping sauce of your choice.

Perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, these crab rangoons are a surefire hit at any party or gathering.
