How To Make crab rangoon
-
Step 1In food processor pulse cream cheese Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and green onions several times until mixed. Stir in crab meat.
-
Step 2Holding the wrapper in one hand with a point towards you, dip your index finger on your free hand in cold water. Moisten the edge of 1/2 of the wrap that is furthest from you. Now place a rounded teaspoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the middle. Fold over and gently seal one end to the other; pressing the wrap together to close tightly shaping it into a triangle. Repeat until cream cheese mixture is gone; placing them on a cutting board and covering with moistened paper towels.
-
Step 3Heat about 1 inch oil in heavy stock pot (dutch oven) to 375 degrees. Working in small batches cook stuffed wontons for about 1 minute or until golden brown: turning halfway through. Drain on paper towels.
-
Step 4NOTES When folding you can also bring the the two farthest corners of the wontons together (after shaping the triangle) and using a dab of water moisten one corner to the other. When working with the wonton wrappers cover non-stuffed and stuffed ones with cold wet paper towels to keep them from drying out.
