Ingredients

8 oz Cream cheese

8 oz Fresh crab meat, or canned crab meat, drained and flaked

1 tsp Red onion, chopped

1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp Light soy sauce

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 Green onion, finely sliced

1 Large clove garlic, smashed, peeled, and finely minced

1 package Won-ton wrappers

1 Small bowl water

Oil for deep-frying

Preparation

Combine the cream cheese and crab meat. Mix in the remaining six filling ingredients (up to the won ton wrappers) one at a time.

On a flat surface, lay out a won ton wrapper in front of you so that it forms 2 triangles (not a square). Wet the edges of the won ton.

Add 1 tsp of the filling to the middle, and spread it out toward the left and right points of the wrapper so that it forms a log or rectangular shape (otherwise the wrapper may break in the middle during deep-frying).

Fold over the edges of the wrapper to make a triangle. Wet the edges with water and press together to seal.

Keep the completed Crab Rangoon covered with a damp towel or paper towel to keep them from drying out while preparing the remainder.

Heat wok and add oil for deep-frying. When oil is ready (the temperature should be between 360-375 degrees), careully slide in the Crab Rangoon, taking care not to overcrowd the wok. Deep-fry until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes, turning once. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.
