Ingredients

  • 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

  1. 1In a bowl whip together the cream cheese and the honey until nice and smooth.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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).
  7. 7Once you have cooked all of your rangoons, you can make your sweet chili sauce or sweet and sour sauce. Enjoy!

Crispy Little Bundles Worth The Folding

Rangoon is takeout food you can absolutely make in your own kitchen. Softened cream cheese, a little crab, green onion, and a stack of wonton wrappers — that's most of it, and the folding gets faster after the first six.

Cooks on Pepper reach for these when the kids want something crunchy, when friends are coming over for the game, or when a plain weeknight dinner needs a side that feels like a treat.

Every recipe here is built on that same cream cheese filling: classic Crab Rangoons, 5 Ingredient Air Fried Crab Rangoon, Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls for bigger bites, Cream Cheese Rangoon Rolls, Panda Express Cream Cheese Rangoon Wontons, and a Cheesy Crab Rangoon Dip when you'd rather skip the wrapping.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Soften the cream cheese

    Let an 8-oz block sit out 30 to 45 minutes before mixing. Cold cream cheese tears the wrappers and leaves lumps in the filling.

  2. 2

    Seal with water

    Dip a finger in water and run it along two edges of the wrapper, then press firmly. Any gap lets filling leak into the oil.

  3. 3

    Fry in small batches

    Keep oil around 350°F and fry 5 or 6 at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, so the temperature doesn't drop.

  4. 4

    Spray before air frying

    Brush or spray both sides lightly with oil and cook at 375°F for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway, or they'll stay pale and dry.
