Description
These easy Rice Paper Crab Rangoons are a delicious twist on the classic appetizer, made with creamy crab filling and wrapped in rice paper instead of traditional wonton wrappers. They’re crispy, flavorful, and perfect for a quick snack or party appetizer.
Ingredients
- 10 sheets of rice paper
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup imitation crab meat, chopped
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
- Water for softening rice paper
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped imitation crab, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one sheet of rice paper into the water for about 5-10 seconds until softened but still slightly firm.
- Place the softened rice paper on a clean surface. Add about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center.
- Fold the sides over the filling, then roll up tightly like a spring roll.
- Repeat with remaining rice paper and filling.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the rolls for 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use real crab meat for a more authentic flavor.
- Do not over-soak the rice paper or it will tear easily.
- You can air-fry these at 375°F for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
