Ingredients
1 package square wonton wrappers
8-ounce package imitation crab (rinsed and shredded)
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
5 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the imitation crab. Tear or shred into small pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
Add green onions, sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, sesame oil, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Add softened cream cheese and combine thoroughly until smooth.
Keep wonton wrappers covered with a damp paper towel to prevent drying.
Place about 1½ teaspoons of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold opposite corners toward the center, then fold the remaining corners up to form a pyramid shape. Pinch seams to seal, removing any air.
Heat about 1½ inches of oil in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
Fry crab rangoon in batches for 2–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, placing them upside down to drain excess oil.
Let cool for 5–8 minutes. Serve immediately with sweet and sour sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
Be careful not to overfill the wontons to avoid bursting during frying.
Seal edges tightly to prevent cream cheese leakage.
Can be made ahead and frozen before frying—just fry from frozen, adding an extra minute or two.
Serve with dipping sauces like sweet chili, duck sauce, or soy sauce.
