    How to Make Crab Rangoon

    How to Make Homemade Crab Rangoon

    If you have ever dined at a Chinese restaurant in the US, then you have probably noshed on these delicious crab appetizers. However, did you know that you cannot get these at a restaurant in China?

    But don't worry. With just a few key ingredients, you will be able to make these delicious appetizers any time the cravings hit.

    If all of this talk about appetizers is making you hungry? If so, then you need to head over to our page that is full of yummy appetizers.

    Expert Tips, Ingredient List and Suggestions for Recipe Success

    • White crab meat or imitation crab meat 
    • Cream cheese - regular or lite
    • Worcestershire sauce
    • Garlic

    What is Crab Rangoon?

    It's a sweet appetizer full of cream cheese and fresh or imitation crab.

    Do you Use Real Crab or Imitation Crab?

    You may be wondering if you need fresh crab or canned and honestly, I have used both before, however, I do prefer to use canned crab when I make the crispy appetizers.

    The problem when you use real is that you get the fresh flavor of crab and it can be overwhelming when for this appetizer, you are going for the sweet flavor of the recipe.

    Where Can I Find Wonton Skins in the Grocery Store?

    Our wrappers are normally in the dairy section near the Tofu and Egg Roll wrappers.

    What Type of Sauce Do you Serve with This?

    I actually like to eat Crab Rangoon without any sauce; however, you can serve them up with a Sweet and Sour Sauce, a Sweet Chili Sauce, or soy sauce would also make a simple dipping sauce.

    How Do You Seal the Edges?

    You will need to brush the edges of the wonton wraps with a little bit of an egg that has been whisked or with water. Then once you put the filling inside, you can seal the Rangoon in two different ways.

    You can either fold the wrapper into a triangle or you can pinch the sides together to make a pocket.

    How to Make Baked Rangoon with Crabmeat

    Follow our recipe as below, except preheat your oven to 425°F and place the crab puffs on a aluminum sheet pan. Bake for approximately 8 - 10 minutes. The total time to make these tasty appetizers is about 30 minutes.

    How to Make Air Fryer Crab Rangoon

    If you prefer using your air fryer, you can make them in there.

    Just preheat your air fryer to 300 degrees and place the crab cheese wontons in there for about 8 minutes. However, make sure to keep an eye on them so they don't get too done.
