Crab Rangoon (Cheese Wonton)
Ingredients
- 1 pkg. wonton wrapper
- water
- For Cheese Filling:
- ½ lb imitation crab sticks or lump crab meat
- 1 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened in room temperature
- 3 stalk scallions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Worchester sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce or ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp. sugar
Instructions
- Cut the imitation crab sticks in halves. Separate the sticks into fine threads In a large mixing bowl, combine the imitation crab sticks with other cheese filling ingredients. Mix into a lumpy paste.
- Place teaspoonful of cream cheese filling in middle of a wonton skin. Wet the edges of the wonton wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle.
- Press all edges to seal. Optionally, brush some water on the left and right angles of the triangle and fold these two corners inward for better presentation.
- Alternatively, fold the two opposing corners without sealing the edges. Bring the other two corners to the center and seal all edges.
- Over medium heat, fry the wontons for 1 – 2 minutes on each side or until golden crispy. Drain the excess oil on a paper towel and serve the wontons warm.
- At restaurants, crab rangoon is served often with sweet plum sauce, duck sauce, and sweet and sour sauce. Feel free to serve it with your favorite sauce or you can just serve it straight up.

I made these tonight in my deep fryer, they were so so good!!!! I dint have scallions or green onion but these are delish!!! Thank you!!! P.s. I used sweet and sour sauce for dipping yummy!!! My neighbor and I got together and made these… It was a lot of fun!!!
I can’t order Thai food without also ordering some of these on the side! This seems like a pretty easy recipe so I think I’ll try making them on my own! Thanks for sharing!
Just curious….after these are made, but before they are fried can I freeze some for later?
