Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 8 oz lump crabmeat drained and picked over for shells (170g)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 3 tablespoon green onions sliced (25g)
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 24 wonton wrappers 3-inch square
- Water for sealing
- Vegetable oil for frying about 3 cups
Instructions
- In a bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, drained crabmeat, soy sauce, sesame oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, sliced green onions, sugar, and black pepper until well combined.
- Lay a wonton wrapper flat and place 1 heaping tablespoon of the crab filling in the center. Use your fingers dipped in water to lightly wet the edges of the wonton wrapper.
- Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing out any air pockets and sealing the edges tightly. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat 3 cups of vegetable oil in a saucepan to 350°F. Fry the filled wontons in batches of 4-5 for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer fried rangoons to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with sweet Thai chili sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, omit the crab and add finely diced water chestnuts or mushrooms.
- Avoid overfilling the wontons to prevent leakage during frying.
- Keep wonton wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out.
- Adjust frying time as needed to achieve the desired crispness.
