Ingredients

  • 2 cups crab meat
  • 3/4 cup cream cheese room temperature
  • 2 scallions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method

  1. Stir the crab meat, cream cheese, scallions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt and black pepper together in a large bowl.
  2. Set a wonton wrapper on your work surface, place about a tablespoon of filling in the center, brush the border lightly with water, and bring the opposite corners together, pinching tightly to seal and pushing out any air.
  3. Heat oil deep enough to cover the wontons to between 325°F and 350°F, without letting it go hotter.
  4. Fry the rangoons in batches until golden, then drain them on paper towels.
  5. Serve the hot rangoons with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
