Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 2 tablespoons scallions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 30 pieces wonton wrappers
- 0 as needed for sealing water
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped artichoke hearts, scallions, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well blended and smooth.
Step 2
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Step 3
With a fingertip dipped in water, moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper.
Step 4
Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, ensuring the filling is sealed inside by pressing the edges firmly together.
Step 5
Repeat the filling and folding process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
Step 6
In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dipping a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
Step 7
Carefully add a few filled wontons to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the rangoons until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 8
Remove the fried rangoons with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat the frying process with the remaining rangoons.
Step 10
Serve the vegetarian crab rangoons warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy dipping sauce.
