Crab Rangoon Recipe Tips
How do you keep crab rangoons from exploding?
To keep crab rangoons from exploding, try freezing filled crab rangoons for about 15 minutes before throwing them into the oven. That way, they'll come out crispy and without any leakage. Be sure to wrap the wonton wrappers in batches too, so the water doesn’t dry out around the edges. If the water dries out, the wonton wrappers will unfold.
How do you fry crab rangoons?
We recommend using an oil with a high smoke point, like canola oil, for frying crab rangoons. (Learn more about the
different types of frying oil.) Heat the oil to 375° or a gentle boil and then fry the wontons until they're golden brown. You can also try
Baked Crab Rangoons!
How do you store crab rangoons?
You can store cooked crab rangoons in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days. If you want to make them ahead of time, freeze uncooked crab rangoons on waxed paper-lined baking sheets until firm, at least 1 hour. Transfer to freezer containers; return to freezer. To use, fry as directed.
What should I serve with crab rangoons?
We recommend serving
Hot Crab Pinwheels or
Chicken Rangoon Egg Rolls on the side. Or swap the sweet and sour sauce for a
Spicy Crab Dip instead. Have leftover crab rangoon ingredients on hand? Try serving one of these
wonton recipes or an
imitation crab recipe.
