Air Fryer Crab Rangoon

Using the air fryer makes these crab rangoons taste just like they’re from a restaurant. Cream cheese, crab meat, scallions and soy sauce are mixed together. Then some of the filling is placed in the center of a wonton wrapper. Next the wonton wrappers are closed around the filling. An air fryer is preheated, and then the crab rangoons are placed in the basket and baked for six minutes until crispy and golden brown.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Servings 30 pieces

Ingredients

  • 30 square wonton wrappers
  • 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • 4 oz lump crab meat
  • 2 tbsp minced scallions
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • Non-stick spray

Dipping sauce:

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • Sesame seeds garnish
  • Red pepper flakes garnish

Instructions

Filling

  1. In a small bowl stir together the cream cheese, crab, scallion and soy sauce. Mix well so the filling is a single consistency and the crab is evenly distributed.
  2. Working with one square at a time, add ½ tbsp of filling to the center of the wonton. Use you finger to paint the edges with warm water, and then crimp the corners up to meet in the center, forming a dumpling. Use your fingers to press out as much as you can along the edges as you seal the dumpling.
  3. Can make ahead and refrigerate on a tray.
  4. Spray the fryer basket with non-stick spray. Place as many wontons as possible, without touching, into the air fryer basket. Air fry at 350 F for 6 minutes, until they are crispy and golden brown.
  5. Let the wontons cool briefly, and then serve with the dipping sauce. Cooked wontons don’t keep very well (they will get soggy), so cook only as many as you intend to eat right away!
