- 3.
- Pre-heat oil to medium-high in a large skillet.
- Cut won-ton wrappers in half diagonally.
- Fry in small batches, for about 30-45 seconds, or until puffy and golden.
- Watch them closely, they can burn pretty quickly!
- Drain on paper towels.
- About 20 minutes before serving, take the dip out of the fridge to soften a bit.
- Serve with the won-ton chips.
- Note- if youre not in to deep frying the won-tons, you can bake them.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and place your cut won-ton wrappers on a lightly oiled cookie sheet.
- Season them with a dash of sea salt or some grated Parmesan if youre feeling froggy.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, until lightly golden.
- The texture of the baked chips vs. deep fried is much different.
- The fried ones are closer to a real crab rangoon.
- Feeds a party or one really hungry guy watching football.
