The idea for this recipe all started when I was hanging out with one of my closest friends. We went to Meijer and ambitiously bought cream cheese, green onions, imitation crab and wonton wrappers. We mixed together the ingredients and put the wonton wrappers in a muffin tin. This was our first attempt so we had baked crab Rangoon. Over many more months and trial and errors... I think I have perfected it. Try it and see what you think!
1 package of cream cheese - softened
3 green onions - chopped
1 package of imitation crab - chopped (you can use as many as you like. I typically use 4 pieces)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon soy sauce... I use gluten free
1 package of wonton wrappers
2 chopped cloves of garlic or garlic powder to taste
corn oil (for deep frying)
Mix together the cream cheese, green onions, crab, sugar, ginger, soy sauce and garlic. In a wonton wrapper I put a teaspoon of the mixture (large teaspoon). I use water to seal the wonton wrapper. While I am prepping the mixture and stuffing the wontons, I heat the oil. I normally drop three or four wontons in the oil and let them cook until they are golden brown.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or plain (that is how I like them).
I will try and add pictures of the process... I am making this recipe tomorrow for my date night with my fiance and two of our friends! : )
Stay strong, love one another and keep cooking.
This recipe is absolutely delicious! One of my favorites.
