Ingredients
Scale
- 8 wonton wrappers
- 1 cup crab meat (fresh or canned)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, crab meat, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce until smooth.
- Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of each wrapper. Wet the edges with water to seal.
- Fold the wrappers over the filling to form triangles or envelopes, pressing firmly on the edges.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Test by dropping in a small piece of wonton wrapper; it should sizzle.
- Fry the rangoons in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
