Equipment

  • frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 whole green onions both light and dark green parts, chopped
  • 6 ounce can crabmeat, drained well
  • 1 Tablespoon Sriracha or other hot sauce more to taste
  • ½ cup water
  • 30 each standard package of wonton wrappers This may vary depending on how much filling you put in each rangoon. For me, I used 3/4 of a package of wrappers.

For Frying:

  • vegetable oil for frying

Dipping Sauce:

  • 2 Tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Vinegar Or Rice Wine Vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Sriracha Or Other Hot Sauce

Other Suggestions:

  • sweet hot mustard, hot Chinese mustard, sweet and sour sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, green onions, crabmeat and Sriracha sauce. Mix well.
  • One at a time, assemble the wontons as shown in the steps above, using about 1/2 teaspoon of mixture for each. (I used the smallest cookie scoop I had and underfilled it.) Keep the prepared wontons covered with a barely damp kitchen towel while you prepare the remaining rangoon.
  • Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a large saucepan or medium skillet to just under 300 to 350 degrees. (At my higher elevation I had it at about 300-320f degrees.) You don’t want the oil too hot or it will burn the wontons wrappers. Experiment with a spare sheet of wonton wrappers to check.
  • About 4 to 5 at a time, fry the wontons for about 45 seconds to 1 minute, flipping carefully midway through to make sure they brown evenly.
  • Wait 5-10 minutes before serving the wontons, as the cream cheese filling can be quite hot. The outside wrapper may feel cool but the inside stays quite hot for a few minutes. You have been warned! To reheat, bake for about 10 minutes at 400f degrees.
