Ingredients:

• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 4 oz. crab meat (fresh, canned, or imitation), finely chopped
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp soy sauce
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 24 wonton wrappers
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Sweet and sour sauce for dipping (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, chopped crab meat, green onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Fill the Wontons: Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it over to form a triangle or bring all corners together to form a packet. Press the edges tightly to seal.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). To check if the oil is ready, you can drop a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil—if it sizzles and floats to the top, the oil is hot enough.
4. Fry the Wontons: Fry the wontons in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
5. Serve: Serve the Crab Rangoon hot, with sweet and sour sauce on the side for dipping if desired.

Conclusion:

Crab Rangoon is a delightful appetizer that combines a crispy exterior with a creamy, savory filling. It's a crowd-pleaser that's perfect for any occasion, from casual get-togethers to elegant dinner parties.
