Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 8 oz softened cream cheese, 4 oz finely chopped imitation crab meat, 2 finely chopped green onions, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Step 2: Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and spoon about 1 tsp of the cream cheese mixture into the center. Moisten the edges with water and fold into a triangle, pressing edges firmly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat to 350°F. Fry 5-6 rangoons at a time for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  4. Step 4: For the dipping sauce, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sriracha sauce until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Serve the rangoons warm with the cream cheese dip on the side.
