wontons
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 4-6 ounces imitation crab meat finely diced
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce plus more for dipping
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 24 wonton wrappers
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese, imitation crab, sliced green onions, sweet chili sauce, worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.
- Fill each wonton wrapper with 2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture.
- Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with water and pull all of the corners to the center. Pinch the seams to seal in the filling.
- Repeat steps 2-3 with the remaining wontons.
- Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray and add as many rangoons as will fit– make sure not to overcrowd the basket.
- Spray the rangoons with olive oil spray and cook at 365F for 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining rangoons.
- Serve immediately with sweet and sour sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Add more crab if you like! I like my filling to be nice and creamy, so I only add 4 ounces of crab to the recipe. For a meatier filling, use 6 ounces.
- Dice the crab finely. Air Fryer Crab Rangoon will be easier to eat if the pieces of crab are very small.
- Don't let the wrappers dry out. Once exposed to air, wonton wrappers will get dry and brittle. As you're making the crab rangoon, keep the wrappers you aren't working with under a damp paper towel.
- The crab rangoon filling is already fully cooked, so these only need to be air fried long enough for the wrappers to crisp up and become golden brown. 5 or 6 minutes is plenty of time.
- You can fill wonton wrappers with other fillings too, and air fry them using this method! Try them stuffed with mozzarella and pepperoni to make your own homemade air fryer pizza rolls.
