Description

These Crab Rangoons are the ultimate party appetizer, featuring delicate wonton wrappers filled with a rich mixture of fresh crab meat and creamy cream cheese. The addition of Worcestershire sauce and garlic salt adds a savory depth that complements the sweetness of the crab perfectly. When deep-fried to a golden crisp, they offer a satisfying crunch that gives way to a warm, luscious center. They are best served immediately while hot and crispy, paired with sweet and sour sauce or Chinese hot mustard for dipping. This classic Chinese-American favorite is easy to assemble and always a crowd-pleaser, making it perfect for holidays, gatherings, or when you need an impressive yet simple snack.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Drain and chop 8 oz of fresh crab meat into small, bite-sized pieces.
  2. Soften 8 oz of cream cheese to room temperature.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the chopped crab, softened cream cheese, 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt.
  4. Mix the filling until it is smooth and well combined.
  5. Place about 1/4 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
  6. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing out excess air.
  7. Moisten the top two corners of the triangle with water and pinch together to seal, using a fork to crimp the edges securely.
  8. Heat 3 cups of cooking oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  9. Carefully lower the Rangoons into the hot oil in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
  10. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
  11. Serve warm with sweet and sour sauce and Chinese hot mustard for dipping.
