Recipe

1 package of square wonton wrappers
8- ounce package imitation crab
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
5 green onions sliced thin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

Open the packaging of imitation crab (I like to rinse it quickly under the faucet and pat dry with paper towels). Break apart the crab and then tear using your hand into a large mixing bowl.

Add sliced green onions, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix throughly with a rubber spatula.

Add the cream cheese and mix throughly.

After opening the wonton wrappers, make sure to cover it with a damp paper towel to prevent drying out. Take about a teaspoon of the crab-cream cheese filling and spread it onto the middle of a wonton wrapper with a spoon. Then, fold it in half to make a triangle.

Place your fingers on the area of the wonton right above the filling and crimp together. It should look like a pouch. You don’t have to make sure it’s completely sealed.

Heat oil (about a 1 1/2 inch layer) in a nonstick skillet on medium to medium high heat for a few minutes.

In batches, fry the crab ranoon in the skillet until slightly browned on each side about 2 to 4 minutes.

Cook on a clean plate lined with paper towels. Place the crab rangoon upside down to ensure the oil drains out. Allow to cool for 5-8 minutes. Serve immediately. (You can serve them with your favorite store bought sauce like sweet and sour dipping sauce.
