Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup cooked crab meat
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 package wonton wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Place a heaping teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it in half diagonally to create a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal.
  3. In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the wontons to the hot oil, a few at a time, and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. Serve the crab rangoon hot with a sweet and sour sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
