Ingredients:

  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 6 oz (170 g) lump crab meat, drained
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp (5 g) garlic powder
  • 1 tsp (5 g) soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp (1 g) black pepper
  • 24 wonton wrappers (approx. 8 oz/225 g)
  • Oil for frying (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, soy sauce, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated and set aside.
  2. Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of the wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle. Seal the edges by pressing firmly.
  3. Place assembled ragoons on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. In a frying pan or deep fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  5. Carefully drop ragoons in batches into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.
  6. Use a slotted spoon to remove ragoons and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm, optionally with sweet and sour sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
