Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned or frozen crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use canned crab meat that has been drained and flaked.
- Don't overfill the wonton wrappers: If you overfill the wonton wrappers, they will be difficult to seal and will likely burst open during baking.
- Bake the crab rangoons until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy exterior.
- Serve the crab rangoons with a dipping sauce: A sweet and sour sauce or a soy sauce-based sauce are both good choices.
Conclusion:
Baked crab rangoons are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, with a flavorful crab filling. Whether you are serving them at a party or enjoying them as a snack, baked crab rangoons are sure to be a hit.
