Ingredients

Scale

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup imitation crab meat or real crab meat, finely chopped
2 green onions, finely sliced
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp sugar
24 wonton wrappers
1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and sugar. Mix until fully blended.

2️⃣ Assemble the rangoon: Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the filling to the center.

3️⃣ Seal the wrapper: Lightly brush the edges with beaten egg. Fold into a triangle or pinch the corners together to form a star shape, sealing tightly.

4️⃣ Repeat: Continue until all wrappers are filled and sealed.

5️⃣ Heat the oil: In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).

6️⃣ Fry in batches: Carefully fry the rangoons, turning occasionally, for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

7️⃣ Drain: Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels.

8️⃣ Serve: Enjoy warm with sweet and sour sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Crab Choice: Imitation crab works well, but real lump crab elevates the flavor.
Make Ahead: You can assemble them a few hours ahead and fry just before serving.
Shape Options: Fold into triangles, stars, or even simple parcels—just seal tightly.
Air Fryer Friendly: Brush with oil and air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping once.
Freezer Tip: Freeze before frying—just add a few extra minutes to fry time.
