Ingredients
– 8 oz fresh crab meat (or imitation crab)
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 2 green onions, finely chopped
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
– 1 tsp soy sauce
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 10-12 rice paper wrappers
– Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
Creating these Rice Paper Crab Rangoons is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Soak Rice Paper: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds until it softens. Remove and lay it flat on a clean surface.
3. Fill the Wrapper: Place a tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center of the softened rice paper. Be careful not to overfill.
4. Fold the Wrapper: Fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll it up tightly. Ensure it’s sealed well to prevent any filling from leaking out.
5. Repeat the Process: Continue the soaking and filling process until all the mixture is used.
6. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium heat until hot.
7. Fry the Rangoons: Carefully add a few rangoons to the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
8. Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to remove the rangoons from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
9. Serve Hot: Enjoy the rangoons warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
