Cream Cheese Rangoon is a crispy, golden-brown appetizer featuring wonton wrappers filled with a creamy blend of softened cream cheese, scallions, and garlic powder. Deep-fried to perfection, these savory treats are perfect for parties or as a delicious snack, served best with a tangy sweet and sour dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp thinly sliced scallions
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

To Fry

  • Vegetable oil (for frying, about 3 inches deep)
  • 48 wonton wrappers

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil. In a medium frying pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F. Ensure the oil is deep enough, about 3 inches, to properly submerge the rangoons.
  2. Prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, thinly sliced scallions, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
  3. Fill the wontons. Place about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with room temperature water to help seal them.
  4. Fold the wontons. Fold the wonton by bringing each center of the four sides toward the middle and pinch firmly to create the signature pointed shape, ensuring they are sealed tightly to prevent filling leakage during frying.
  5. Fry the rangoons. Carefully place a few folded rangoons into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot to maintain the oil temperature. Fry until they become golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes, turning as needed.
  6. Drain and cool. Remove the rangoons from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat the frying process with the remaining rangoons.
  7. Serve. Allow the cream cheese rangoons to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sweet and sour dipping sauce for a delicious appetizer.

Notes

  • Use room temperature water to seal wonton wrappers, ensuring they stick well during frying.
  • Do not overcrowd the frying pot to maintain consistent oil temperature and crispy texture.
  • Drain the fried rangoons on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.
  • Adjust frying time slightly depending on the size and thickness of wonton wrappers.
  • Serve with sweet and sour sauce or your preferred dipping sauce for best flavor.
