Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 12oz package wonton wrappers see notes on where to find

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese room temp
  • 8 oz crab meat Approx. ½ whole Dungeness, or other species of crab.
  • 3 green onions finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh squeezed
  • 2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon parsley finely chopped
  • a few tablespoons of water in a small bowl for wrapping wontons

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl combine all rangoon filling ingredients.
  • Remove one wonton wrapper at a time and cover the rest so they don't dry out. Place 2 teaspoons of filling in the center of the wonton.
  • Dip your finger in the water, and wet the edges of the wonton. Fold 2 opposite sides together. Bring in a third side and seal. Lastly sealing the last side with the rest to completely seal the wonton. Set aside on a plate and repeat filling and wrapping the wontons until the filling is done.
  • Spray each rangoon with oil and air fry at 375 for 6-7 minutes, or until they're golden brown. Adjust a minute or two as needed depending on your Air fryer. See notes for the air fryer I used. Enjoy crab rangoon warm!

Notes

  • Find Wonton Wrappers in the refrigerated section near the tofu.
  • Don't have an air fryer? Make them the traditional route by frying! The pot should have about 3 inches of oil. Neutral oil options, avocado, vegetable, canola, etc.
  • Helpful Tip: I like to place the rangoons on a wire rack so the bottoms don't get soggy.
  • To reheat in the air fryer: preheat it to 350F and cook for about 5 minutes, until crispy again.
  • My Air Fryer: Ninja Foodi.
