Crab Rangoon
- 8 oz crab meat, real or artificial
- 2 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
- pinch of salt
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 1 pkg. wonton skins (60 in package)
- 2 Wet paper towels (for the wonton skins)
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
- oil for deep frying
- 1. Get your oil into your deep fryer and get it turned on. I turned mine all the way up.
- 2. Put both packages of cream cheese into a mixing bowl. If not at room temperature, put into the microwave on 20-30 second spurts until competely softened. Be careful not to completely heat it up.
- 3. Chop and dice up the crab meat into little pieces. I left mine a slight bit chunky because its just GOOOOD like that.
- 4. Add the Onion powder, salt and sugar to the bowl and mix thoroughly until well blended.
- 5. Open the package of wonton skins. I left mine in the package and only pulled out what I needed. While not pulling any out, I left the package covered by the wet paper towels.
- 6. Place a small ball of filling on to one of the wonton skins.
- 7. With the tip of your finger, dip into the water, rub 1/2 of the edge of the wonton skin, then fold over and press down completely to seal.
- 8. Place created wontons into oil. These will cook fast and you only need to brown them.
- It took a total of about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Flip them when the edges start to brown nicely.
- Repeat the steps until you have made all of them. You will need to play with how much you put in each one to avoid leakage when you are sealing each wonton.
