Crab Rangoon (Yu Mian Jin Ju)

Serves 12

Ingredients

Method

8 oz Cream Cheese, Softened
½ cu Cooked Crab Meat, Finely Chopped
1 tbsp Finely Chopped Green Onions
½ tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp Soy Sauce
½ tsp Sugar
Pinch of Garlic Powder
24 Wonton Wrappers
2 cu Vegetable Oil, For Frying

In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, chopped crab meat, chopped green onions, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and garlic powder until well combined.

Place a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface, and spoon a heaping teaspoon of the crab mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water, and fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal the filling inside. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the filled wontons in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried Crab Rangoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Serve the Crab Rangoon hot with sweet and sour sauce or another dipping sauce of your choice.
