Crab Rangoon

This crisp, fried wonton is loaded with cream cheese and crab goodness, and it’s an absolute party favorite!

Knowing that this is my last recipe of 2013, I just had to make it count and share these epic crab rangoons with you, a perfect New Year’s eve party appetizer. Or if you like me, dinner on a Monday night.

This is a simple recipe that involves an incredibly creamy crab filling that you can easily seal up in a triangle. Once that’s done, you can throw that right into the hot oil and these babies will be done in just 2-3 minutes.

You can use any kind of dipping sauce with these but my favorite is the Thai sweet chili sauce. It gives it such a fun sweetness to it! But you can also dip in soy sauce, Sriracha, sambal oelek – the sky is the limit!

Just make some extra for yourself when you make this for your New Year’s Eve party because these will be disappearing very quickly!

5 ounces drained crab meat

4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

1 clove garlic, minced

1 green onion, thinly sliced

1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

24 2-inch won ton wrappers Directions: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium high heat. In a large bowl, combine crab meat, cream cheese, garlic, green onion, sesame oil, Worcestershire, salt and pepper, to taste. To assemble the wontons, place wrappers on a work surface. Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons of the mixture into the center of each wrapper. Using your finger, rub the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a triangle, pinching the edges to seal. Working in batches, add wontons to the Dutch oven and fry until evenly golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately with dipping sauce, if desired. Adapted from A Family Feast. 20 minutes10 minutes Did you Make This Recipe?
