Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Crab Rangoon with Water Chestnuts.
Step 1
To start your delicious crab-filled wontons, grab a large, heavy saucepan and heat your oil to a sizzling 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
While the oil warms up, take a medium bowl and mix together softened cream cheese, drained and flaked crabmeat, chopped water chestnuts, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of paprika.
Step 3
Blend these ingredients until they’re perfectly combined, creating a creamy, flavorful filling that will make your taste buds dance.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to assemble your wontons! Take a wonton wrapper and place about a teaspoon of that delightful cream cheese mixture right in the center.
Step 5
To seal the deal, moisten the edges of the wrapper with a touch of water, fold it over the filling, and pinch the edges tightly to keep all that goodness inside.
Step 6
Once your wontons are ready, carefully add them to the hot oil in small batches, ensuring they have enough space to fry evenly.
Step 7
Watch them transform into golden brown bites of joy, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 8
When they’re perfectly crispy, remove them from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
Step 9
Enjoy your homemade crab wontons as a delightful appetizer or snack that’s sure to impress!.
