How To Make crab rangoon
-
Step 1In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, green onion, lemon zest, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir the ingredients well; taste and adjust if needed.
-
Step 2Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
-
Step 3Working with one at a time, moisten the edges of a wonton wrapper with water keeping the other ones covered with a damp clean dish towel. Add 1 ½ tbsp. filling in the center.
-
Step 4Gather the opposite corners and bring them together without pinching. Do the same with the other corners and bring them up to the center. Pinch the edges tightly so they’re sealed nicely; set aside while forming the others.
-
Step 5In a heavy bottom skillet, bring the oil temperature to 370ºF.
-
Step 6Working in batches, carefully put the filled wrappers in. Fry them until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
-
Step 7Transfer them to a wire rack and set aside while frying the others. Makes 18 rangoons.
