How to Make Cream Cheese Rangoons

These crispy and creamy wonton snacks are sure to impress.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
• 1 package of 12 wonton wrappers
• 1 oz. imitation crab meat, finely chopped (optional)
• 2-3 cups vegetable oil
• 1 cup water

1. Soften your cream cheese and, if you opt to use the crab meat, mix the cream cheese and crab together.

2. Spread your wonton wrappers on a flat surface, like your counter or a cookie sheet.

3. Place an equal amount of the cream cheese mixture on the center of each wonton.

4. Fold the wontons around the cream cheese mixture by bringing the four corners together. Using the water you have, moisten the edges to press together so the cream cheese doesn't come out.

5. Using a large, deep skillet or a medium sauce pan, heat about 3 in. of vegetable oil over medium heat.

6. Fry each wonton for about 3 minutes each, or until they're golden brown and crispy. Pull them out carefully and drain them on a paper towel once they're finished.

7. Serve warm plain or with sweet and sour sauce.

Tips & Warnings

• You can, of course, use real crab meat for these rangoons if preferred.
• You can experiment using different finely chopped vegetables in the cream cheese mixture, including green onions, carrots, or peppers.
• Let the rangoons rest for a short time before eating them, as they will be hot.
