Homemade Crab Rangoon (Deep-Fried Wontons)

Instructions

1. Make the filling
   In a bowl, combine:

   • Cream cheese
   • Chopped crab
   • Green onions
   • Soy sauce
   • Garlic powder
   • Black pepper

   Mix until smooth and well combined.

2. Assemble the wontons
   • Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface.
   • Add about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center.
   • Moisten the edges with a little water.
   • Fold and seal (triangle or pinch all corners together to form a pouch).
   • Press edges firmly to avoid leaks.
3. Heat the oil
   Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
4. Fry
   • Fry the wontons in batches (don’t overcrowd).
   • Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
   • Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. Serve
   Serve hot with sweet chili sauce, duck sauce, or soy sauce.

Tips

• Make sure the edges are sealed well so they don’t open while frying.
• Keep unused wrappers covered so they don’t dry out.
• You can bake or air-fry them for a lighter version if you want.
