Ingredients

• 20 pieces Gluten-free wonton wrappers
• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 6 oz Imitation crab meat or cooked crab meat
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Gluten-free soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Egg, beaten (for sealing)
• 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, imitation or cooked crab meat, green onions, gluten-free soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until creamy and well-blended.

Step 2

Lay out gluten-free wonton wrappers on a clean, flat surface.

Step 3

Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper.

Step 4

Brush the edges of each wrapper with the beaten egg to help seal.

Step 5

Fold the wrappers by bringing opposite corners together, forming a triangle, and press edges to seal tightly. Make sure there are no air pockets.

Step 6

Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Gently drop 2-3 crab rangoons into the hot oil at a time, fryerize them until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the crab rangoons from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat the frying process with remaining rangoons.

Step 10

Serve hot, ideally with sweet and sour sauce or gluten-free soy sauce on the side for dipping.
