Crab rangoon

Method

1. 1 Let the cream cheese come to room temperature, then mash it with soy sauce and pepper.
2. 2 Tear the imitation crab sticks into small pieces and mix them with cheese, green onions, and minced garlic.
3. 3 Place a spoonful of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper, then brush water around the edges.
4. 4 Fold it into a four-wing shape and press the edges tightly together; if there's even a small gap, the oil will ooze out.
5. 5 Fry in oil at 170 degrees for exactly 2 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy.
6. 6 Fry quickly over medium heat because the filling only needs to be hot; frying for too long will cause the cheese to melt completely.

With an appliance

• Air fryer 35 min

  Replace step 5: spray evenly with oil, then steam in a hot air oven at 190 degrees for 7 minutes; the crust will be dry and crispy but not very puffed up.
