New Recipes with Nico: Crab Rangoon

I have been wanting to add Crab Rangoon to our dinner menu for quite awhile. I searched and searched for an easy recipe to try and I found a great one for Crab Rangoon that I modified just a bit.

Gather all of your ingredients, and get ready to go. First I drained the crab meat and picked through it to check for any missed shells.

Don’t forget to drain the juice into a bowl for your kitchen helper kitty, he’ll appreciate it…

I combined the Softened Cream Cheese,a few healthy dashes of Garlic Salt, and Crab Meat together. I set up an assembly line to start folding the Crab Rangoon.

Here comes the fun part… Fill the Wanton wrappers with a tiny bit of filling, about a teaspoon. Brush the edges with egg, and fold over, try to get all of the air out as you fold. I’ve kept mine in a Gladware container, with waxed paper between the layers. Let the Crab Rangoon chill in the fridge before they are ready to be fried.


Once your oil is nice and warm its time to fry the Crab Rangoon in small batches. Make sure and turn them over once or twice so they fry to a nice golden brown. Have plenty of paper towels ready to drain the Crab Rangoon on.

I served the Crab Rangoon with Chicken Chow Mien and Coconut-Orange Candies, time to see if the guys like the meal…

This was one delicious dish, and the recipe made so many Crab Rangoon. Everyone really enjoyed this tasty side, and I’ve had a few requests to make the Crab Rangoon again. Beware though, they are so tasty you might not be able to stop yourself at just 2 or 3 Crab Rangoon.

If you give the recipe a try, let me know how it turned out.
