Despite its name and supposed connection to Burmese cuisine, Crab Rangoon is an American invention, likely dating back to the mid-20th century. Its origins are debated, with some attributing it to Polynesian-themed restaurants that were popular during that era, while others suggest it was created by a Chinese restaurant seeking to appeal to American palates.

Crab Rangoon offers a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. The crispy wonton shell gives way to a creamy, slightly sweet and savory filling.
The primary flavors are derived from the imitation crab meat (or sometimes real crab), which provides a mild seafood sweetness, balanced by the rich, tangy cream cheese. Garlic powder, onion powder and Worcestershire sauce are often added to enhance the savory notes. The deep-fried wonton wrapper contributes a satisfying crunch and a subtly nutty flavor.

Preventing Soggy Wontons
Ensure the wonton wrappers are completely sealed to prevent oil from seeping into the filling during frying. Fry at the correct temperature, around 350°F (175°C), to ensure they cook quickly and don't absorb too much oil.
Creamy Filling Secrets
Use softened cream cheese to ensure a smooth and lump-free filling. Avoid overmixing the filling, as this can make it watery. A touch of sugar or sweet chili sauce can balance the savory flavors.
Sealing Techniques
Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water or egg wash to ensure a tight seal. Press firmly to remove any air bubbles. There are many different folding techniques. Press firmly at each fold to prevent leaking.
