These things are soooo addictive! Hubby says they're better than the ones at our favorite Chinese restaurant, and I have to agree with him.

How To Make crab rangoon by t

  • Half recipe of filling in bowl with fork.
    Step 1
    In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork to combine cream cheese, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.
  • Step 2
    When well combined, add green onion and crab. Mix well. (Note: You may omit the imitation crab if you prefer.)
  • Wonton wrappers with filling, edges brushed with egg.
    Step 3
    Working with 3 or 4 at a time, place wrappers on your work surface and add one teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture to the center of the wrapper.
  • Two rangoon shapes.
    Step 4
    Moisten the edges of the wrappers with beaten egg. Fold into triangles or bundles, making sure edges are sealed. Tip: Triangles are easier and require less oil for frying. Repeat until cream cheese is gone (or assemble half of the batch and save the rest for the next day).
  • Plate of uncooked crab rangoon wrapped in plastic.
    Step 5
    Fill a deep, heavy pot or frying pan with enough oil to cover the wontons. Bring the temperature to 325-340 degrees F.
  • Rangoon triangles frying in deep skillet of oil.
    Step 6
    Working in batches, carefully place several wontons in hot oil, frying and turning until light golden brown - about 2 minutes.
  • Fried crab rangoon draining on paper towels next to spider utensil.
    Step 7
    Use a slotted spoon or "spider" to remove to paper towels. Repeat with the remainder.
  • Fried crab rangoon.
    Step 8
    Serve with your choice of dipping sauces. I like plain old soy sauce, and my husband likes duck sauce or sweet and sour.
