Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese , chopped crab meat , green onions , minced garlic , and Worcestershire sauce .
Mix gently until well combined, ensuring the crab meat is evenly distributed throughout the filling.
Step 2: Assemble the Rangoons
Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface.
Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg to act as glue.
Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Bake Until Golden
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Arrange the assembled rangoons on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart .
Lightly brush the tops of the rangoons with more beaten egg for shine and crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes , or until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Let the rangoons cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes before transferring them to a serving plate. Garnish with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve alongside your favorite dipping sauces like soy sauce or sweet chili sauce.
