Baked Crab Rangoon

Crab rangoon is an American invention despite its name, believed to have been created in the mid-20th century at Trader Vic’s, the tiki-themed restaurant chain, as a fusion appetizer for American diners. It became a fixture of American Chinese restaurant menus, prized for its crispy shell and creamy filling.

Crispy wontons with a creamy, savory filling

Cream cheese and crab meat are folded into crispy wonton wrappers and baked until golden for a lighter take on the takeout classic.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Mix the cream cheese, crab, green onions, soy sauce, and garlic powder.
  3. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
  4. Wet the edges, fold into a triangle or purse shape, and seal well.
  5. Spray the wontons lightly with cooking spray and bake 12-15 minutes until golden.
  6. Serve with sweet chili sauce.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Keep unused wonton wrappers covered with a damp towel so they don't dry out while you work. For extra crunch, brush lightly with oil before baking instead of spraying.
