Ingredients for Best Crab Rangoon

  • 20 wonton wrappers
  • Fat Free Cream Cheese
  • Ground Ginger
  • Dried Cilantro
  • Dried Parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • Crabmeat
  • Olive Oil

How to Make Best Crab Rangoon

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Fill each wonton wrapper with about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture.
  4. Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water and fold into a triangle or other desired shape. Press edges firmly to seal.
  5. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Carefully add the filled wontons to the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  7. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the rangoons from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (sweet and sour sauce is recommended).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
