I was seeing these all over tictok and was like I need to make them. Crab rangoons is a staple for me when I order Chinese food. I hope you love this recipe as much as I do.
Zoie JerniganIngredients
- 10 sticks Imitation crab, shredded
- 8 Oz Cream cheese, room temp
- 1 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Honey
- 3 Green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp Sesame seed oil
- 2 tsp Hot sauce
- 1 Tbsp Garlic powder
- To taste Salt
- 32 Wanton wrappers
- 1/4 cup Mayo
Instructions
- 1In a bowl whip together the cream cheese and the honey until nice and smooth.
- 2Once your cream cheese and honey is mixed together, start shredding your crab with a fork. This will create small shredded pieces that are prefect for the rangoons.
- 3Add in your chopped green onions (include the whites just not the root), sesame seed oil, soy sauce, hot sauce, salt, mayo, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined. Taste test your filling.
- 4Once your filling is mixed up, preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees (F). Now this will be different because every air fryer is different, but this is what worked best for my air fryer (the ninja airfry and pressure cooker). Spray the bottom of your air fryer with your preference of cooking spray.
- 5On your counter, place down a single wonton wrapper and place about 1 Tbsp of filling in the center of the wrapper. Now with a little water on your finger, I used my middle middle, wet the edges of the wrapper. Now this next step will work best if you have the wrapper placed at an angle, where it looks like a diamond. Once the edges are wet pull the top and bottom corners of the diamond and pinch them together. Now still pinching the top and bottom corners, pull up one of the other corners and pinch that together at the top and then pinch together the seems on the sides, then repeat on the other side. Repeat this step with all the other wanton wrappers.
- 6Now once you made all off your rangoons place how ever many can fit in your air fryer now this step is important according to your preference. Spray them and cook them at 360 degrees (F) for 8 minutes and then flip them, spray again, and cook again for 3 more minutes. You do not have to spray twice I like them a lot more crispy but you don’t have to spray them twice, the texture will still be the same. (If you choice to fry them just fry them to golden brown).
- 7Once you have cooked all of your rangoons, you can make your sweet chili sauce or sweet and sour sauce. Enjoy!

The filling takes about five minutes and a fork, and then it's just wrappers and water. Once you've folded a dozen, you stop measuring and start eyeballing it, and that's when they get fun.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when the kids want takeout, when a game's on, or when there's half a block of cream cheese and a package of imitation crab that needs using up.
Every recipe here is a real version someone makes: Crab Rangoons with soy sauce stirred in, 5 Ingredient Air Fried Crab Rangoon for a short grocery list, Crab Rangoon Bombs with green onion, Mamaw's Crab Rangoons with a teaspoon of A1, and Baked Crab Rangoons with red onion and Worcestershire.
Quick Tips
- 1
Soften the cream cheese
Let an 8 oz block sit out 30 minutes before mixing. Cold cream cheese stays lumpy and tears the wrappers when you spread it.
- 2
Seal with water
Run a wet fingertip along all four edges, then press hard from the filling outward to push out air so they don't burst.
- 3
Don't overfill
One rounded teaspoon per wonton wrapper is plenty. More than that and the filling leaks out and burns.
- 4
Spray before air frying
Mist both sides lightly with oil and cook at 370°F for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway, so the edges brown instead of drying out.
