A delightful twist on the classic Crab Rangoon, these creamy crab wontons are crispy, flavorful, and easy to make.
Combine the cream cheese, crab meat, green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sugar in a mixing bowl until well blended.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface and place a small amount of the filling in the center of each wrapper.
Avoid overfilling to prevent the wontons from bursting during frying.
Moisten the edges of the wrappers with water, fold them into a triangle, and press to seal the edges tightly.
Use a small brush or your finger to apply water evenly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature.
Fry the wontons in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain the oil temperature.
Remove the fried wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Place the wontons on a single layer to keep them crispy.
Serve the wontons warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Arrange the wontons on a platter for an appealing presentation.
