Crab rangoon is a delicious Chinese appetizer made with a real crab filling, wrapped in wonton wrappers and deep fried till golden brown.
- 8 ounces fresh Crab Meat or imitation crab meat
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese
- 1/4 cup finely diced Carrots
- 1/4 cup finely diced Celery
- 1.5 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 20-25 square Wonton Wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Oil for Frying
-
Place the crab meat, cream cheese, carrots, celery, garlic powder, worcestershire sauce and salt in a bowl and mix together to form the filling for crab rangoon.
-
To wrap crab rangoon, take a square wonton wrapper and place two teaspoons filling in the center. Brush the edges with whisked egg and bring opposite ends of both sides together to form a pocket shape. Repeat till all the filling is consumed. While making one piece, make sure the other wrappers are covered with a damp cloth or they'll dry out.
-
Heat a skillet of 4 inches oil to 350 degrees and fry the crab rangoons, a few at a time, till golden brown. This should take 3-4 minutes.

Serve hot with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce.
