Tips

  • Use real crab meat or finely chopped imitation crab meat.
  • Fold wontons any way you like.
  • Cover unused wrappers with a damp paper towel.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure oil is at 350-375 degrees F.
  • Wontons are best eaten fresh; reheat leftovers in a toaster oven.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace crab with grated carrot and sliced green onions, and brush wrappers with water instead of egg.
  • You can bake the rangoon instead of frying them
