Description
Indulge in the irresistible crunch and creamy filling of homemade Rice Paper Crab Rangoons, a quick and easy appetizer that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
– 8 oz crab meat, drained and flaked
– 4 oz cream cheese, softened
– 2 green onions, thinly sliced
– 1 tsp soy sauce
– 1/4 tsp garlic powder
– 1/4 tsp ground ginger
– 12 rice paper wrappers
– Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1. 1. In a medium bowl, mix together the crab meat, cream cheese, green onions, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ground ginger until well combined.
2. 2. Dampen a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and place them on a flat surface. Dip one rice paper wrapper in water for 10-15 seconds, then place it on the damp towel.
3. 3. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the crab filling onto the center of the rice paper wrapper. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form a rangoon shape.
4. 4. In a large skillet, heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat to 350°F. Carefully add the rangoons and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
5. 5. Transfer the fried rangoons to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For best results, fry the rangoons in batches to maintain the oil temperature. You can also bake the rangoons at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, for a healthier option.
