Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 clove garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat, drained and flaked
2 green onions with tops, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon light soy sauce
48 wonton wrappers

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Combine garlic, cream cheese, crab, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce in a bowl. To prevent wonton skins from drying, prepare only 1 or 2 rangoon at a time. Place 1 teaspoon of filling onto the center of each wonton skin. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wonton skin diagonally to form a triangle, pressing edges to seal. Moisten one of the bottom corners. Create a crown by pulling both bottom corners together and sealing. Arrange the rangoon on the baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

¼ teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 (14 ounce) package wonton wrappers

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter and more delicate flavor than canned crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, use frozen crab meat that has been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Don't overfill the wonton wrappers. If you overfill the wonton wrappers, they will be difficult to seal and will likely burst open during frying. Fill each wonton wrapper with about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture.
  • Seal the wonton wrappers tightly. To prevent the wonton wrappers from bursting open during frying, be sure to seal them tightly. You can do this by wetting the edges of the wonton wrappers with water before folding them over.
  • Fry the wontons in hot oil. The oil should be hot enough to cause the wontons to sizzle immediately. If the oil is not hot enough, the wontons will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Drain the wontons on paper towels. After frying, drain the wontons on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Conclusion:

No-fry crab rangoon is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for parties or potlucks. These wontons are filled with a creamy crab mixture and are baked until golden brown. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious and satisfying snack.
