Make Your Own Crab Rangoon (Recipe)

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

wonton wrappers

🥗Healthier: rice paper

💰Cheaper: dumpling wrappers

Dumpling wrappers are often less expensive and easier to find.

Let the cream cheese sit out to reach room temperature.

Chop up 2 green onions and 1 garlic clove.

In a mixing bowl, combine 6 ounces of imitation crab, cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 0.5 teaspoon soy sauce, salt, pepper, and a little sugar.

Prepare a bowl of water for sealing the wonton wrappers.

Take a wonton wrapper and dab water around the edges to help seal it.

Spoon a small amount of the crab mixture onto the center of the wrapper.

Fold the top of the wrapper down to create a package, sealing it tightly.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot until shimmering.

Drop the packages into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, checking for blistering.

Remove from oil and let cool slightly before serving with a dipping sauce made from apricot preserves, rice wine vinegar, and soy sauce.
