Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 227 grams cream cheese softened
  • 170 grams crab meat drained and flaked
  • 2 tablespoons green onions finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, drained and flaked crab meat, chopped green onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture into the center of the wrapper.
  • Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little water using your fingertip. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing to seal the edges. Alternatively, you can fold the corners to meet in the center, creating a small purse shape. Ensure the filling is completely sealed.
  • Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
  • Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
  • Carefully place a few crab rangoon into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the fried crab rangoon with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce.

Notes

For an air fryer method, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Brush the crab rangoon lightly with oil and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
