Description

Delicious and crispy crab Rangoon filled with cream cheese and crab meat, perfect for dipping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (use full fat cream cheese for best results)
  • 8 ounces crab meat or imitation crab meat
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, very finely minced or pressed
  • 40 wonton wrappers
  • 1 egg
  • olive oil spray
  • sweet chili sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, green onion, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic. Using a fork, break up large chunks of crab and blend it into the cream cheese so the mixture is fairly smooth.
  2. Remove the wontons wrappers from the packaging. Cover them with a damp towel so they don’t dry out.
  3. In a small bowl, lightly beat 1 egg with a fork until blended.
  4. Place 1 to 1 ½ teaspoons of filling mixture onto the center of each wonton wrapper (don’t overfill them). Use a small basting brush to brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with egg.
  5. Bringing up diagonal corners, seal wontons by pinching the edges together.
  6. Once you get a batch prepared, you can begin air frying them, prepping the next batch in the meantime.
  7. Preheat air fryer at 350ºF for 5 minutes.
  8. Spray the crab Rangoon lightly with oil and arrange them in the air fryer in a single layer. Don’t overcrowd; you’ll need to cook them in batches.
  9. Cook for 6 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce, if desired.

Notes

  • If desired, use full fat cream cheese for best results.
  • Make sure to cover wonton wrappers with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
