Homemade Crab Rangoon

 

Every time we eat Asian Food..

Thai Food, Chinese, Japanese..

We always order Crab Rangoon, I always wonder if we can make it at home. 

Hubby had his Fryer out already so I thought why not make it. 

These are actually easy to make. 

If you want a real crab flavor, using a real crab is always optional.

It's up to your preference. 

Let me know what you guys think!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup imitation crab minced (real crab can also be used)
• 3 stalks green onion chopped
• 8 oz cream cheese softened
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1.5 tbsp kewpie mayo (or regular mayo)
• 1 tsp sugar
• 20-25 sheets wonton wrappers
• 3-4 cups cooking oil
• sweet chili sauce Optional as dip

INSTRUCTIONS

 

• First, make the crab Rangoon filling. Combine minced crab, green onions, cream cheese, garlic powder, mayo and sugar in a bowl. Mix everything until you form a smooth mixture. 
• Next, take a sheet of wonton wrapper. Wet the tip of your finger with water and dab it along the 4 sides of the wonton wrapper. 
  

  

  
  
  
• Then, place 1 tbsp of the cream cheese crab filling on the center of the wrapper and lift the tip of the wonton wrapper so all four corners meet in the middle and on top of the filling. Use your finger tips to shape the wonton and repeat this step until all the fillings are used up.
• Heat up the oil in your pan or deep fryer at medium-high heat. Once the oil has heated up, deep fry the wontons for 4-5 minutes.
• Take the wontons off heat once it turns golden brown and the outer layer is firm and crispy. 
• Serve and enjoy!
