Crispy, golden, and filled with a creamy mixture of imitation crab and cream cheese, these Crab Rangoons are the perfect appetizer for any party or gathering. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce for the ultimate snack!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package of square wonton wrappers
  • 8-ounce package imitation crab
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 5 green onions, sliced thin
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Prepare the crab: Open the package of imitation crab, rinse it under the faucet, and pat it dry with paper towels. Tear the crab into small pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.
  • Mix the ingredients: Add the sliced green onions, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well with a rubber spatula.
  • Add the cream cheese: Add the softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Prepare the wonton wrappers: Open the wonton wrappers and cover them with a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out. Take about a teaspoon of the crab-cream cheese filling and place it in the center of each wonton wrapper.
  • Fold the wontons: Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle. Pinch the edges together to seal the filling inside, forming a pouch-like shape. The seal doesn’t need to be completely tight.
  • Heat the oil: Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Use about 1 1/2 inches of oil.
  • Fry the Crab Rangoons: In batches, fry the wontons for about 2-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain excess oil: Remove the Crab Rangoons from the oil and place them on a clean plate lined with paper towels. Flip them upside down to ensure the oil drains out.
  • Serve: Allow to cool for 5-8 minutes, then serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overfill the wonton wrappers as they may burst open during frying.
  • For a variation, try adding garlic powder or a dash of hot sauce to the filling for extra flavor.
  • If you’re preparing these ahead of time, you can freeze the un-fried Crab Rangoons and fry them straight from the freezer when needed.
