- Servings:
- 18 Crab Rangoons
Ingredients
- 18-20 fresh wonton wrappers
- 6 oz. Boss Claw lump crab meat, drained
- 8 oz. Heinen's cream cheese, heated in the microwave for 30 seconds or warmed on the counter
- 1 tsp. Heinen's garlic powder
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp. soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp. sugar
- Water, for closing the wonton wrappers
- Two Brothers sweet chili sauce
Instructions
To Assemble
- Combine the crab meat, creamy cheese, garlic powder, green onion, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and sugar into a bowl and mix well.
- Lay a wonton wrapper on a cutting board or flat surface. Place 1 tsp. of the crab mixture in the center of the wonton wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little water to help keep the wontons together when cooking.
- Close all of the sides together into star, making sure the corners are all closed together.
To Fry
- Heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil to 350˚F in a large skillet. Fry as many wontons as will fit in your skillet for about 30-45 seconds, making sure they don’t burn. A standard size skillet will fit about 6-7 wontons.
- Place the wontons on a large paper towel-lined plate to soak up any leftover oil. Serve warm with the sweet chili dipping sauce and fresh cilantro.
To Air Fry
- Brush each of the wontons with vegetable oil or spray with Heinen’s olive oil spray.
- Preheat the air fryer at 400˚F for 5 minutes. Turn the air fryer to 350˚F and air fry for about 5-8 minutes, or until the wontons are crispy and just turning brown.
- Place the wontons on a large paper towel-lined plate to soak up any leftover oil. Serve warm with the sweet chili dipping sauce and fresh cilantro.
