Ingredients
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 5 ounces imitation crab meat, chopped
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 20 square wonton wrappers
  • 4 cups canola oil
Directions
  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, imitation crab meat, scallions, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and sugar, and mix well. Set aside.
  2. Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper.
  3. Using your finger or small brush, moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water. Fold one of the corners up and seal it together with the other corner to form a triangle. Do not seal the sides of the triangle closed. Lift the right corner and seal it to the top. Press firmly to connect and seal. Continue with the remaining left corner. Press firmly to seal all edges closed and to prevent any leakage.
  4. Repeat with the remaining filling and wonton wrappers.
  5. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium/high until it reaches 350 F. Fry 5 to 6 wontons at a time until golden brown, approximately 2 minutes. Place the fried crab rangoons on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  6. Transfer to a dish and serve immediately while hot.
