Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 8 oz finely chopped imitation crab meat, 4 oz softened cream cheese, 2 stalks finely chopped green onions, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Step 2: Place about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold into triangles or purses, and press to seal tightly.
Step 3: Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F. Fry the crab rangoons in batches for 2-3 minutes each until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Step 4: Serve warm with 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce for dipping.
