These little crab bites put a smile on everyone's face. My family loves them for their size, texture and taste. I love them because they're quick and simple to make.

CRAB RANGOON (CREAM CHEESE CRAB WONTON)

Classic recipe for crab rangoon with cream cheese and scallions from Jet Tila.

Provided by Jet Tila

Categories     Appetizer     Crab     Cream Cheese     Fry     Deep-Fry     Green Onion/Scallion     Hors D'Oeuvre     Kid-Friendly     Small Plates

Yield Makes 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 oz (227 g) lump crab meat or snow crab
16 oz (454 g) cream cheese, room temp
2 green onions (whites only), very finely chopped
2 tbsp (5 g) finely chopped tarragon
Salt and pepper
24 wonton skins (square)
1 egg, slightly beaten, for sealing
2 qt (1.9 L) vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Press out as much liquid as possible from any crab meat you are using. Any excess moisture will soak through the wonton skins. In a medium bowl combine the crab, cream cheese, green onion, tarragon, salt and pepper either with your hands or a mixer with a paddle attachment.
  • Take a wonton skin, place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. With a finger dipped in egg, moisten the 2 adjacent sides; fold over the opposing corner to make a triangle. (You have some choices with shape. You can make a purse, tortellini or traditional triangle wontons.)
  • Place the completed ones on a tray. Uncooked, rangoons can be wrapped and kept frozen for 1 to 2 weeks and dropped into the fryer frozen.
  • Heat oil in a 4- or 5-quart (3.8- or 4.7-L) Dutch oven or pot until the oil reaches 360°F (182°C). Fry in small batches until golden about 2 minutes on each side and drain on a wire rack over a cookie sheet. I like to serve these with sweet chili or plum sauce.

Tips:

  • For the wonton wrappers, you can use store-bought or make your own. If making your own, be sure to use a wonton wrapper recipe that is thin and pliable.
  • To make the crab filling, be sure to use fresh crab meat. You can also use canned or frozen crab meat, but fresh crab meat will give you the best flavor.
  • When assembling the wontons, be sure to seal them tightly so that the filling doesn't leak out during baking.
  • To get a golden brown crust on the wontons, brush them with melted butter before baking.
  • Serve the wontons with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or duck sauce.

Conclusion:

Baked cream cheese crab wontons are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a light meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these tasty wontons that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
