This flavorful crab rangoon appetizer recipe is delicious and easy to pop in your mouth. They are also baked, not fried, providing a lighter and healthier alternative to the original version.
Crab Rangoon is a wonton filled with meat (crab), cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, ginger, and garlic. Traditionally it is fried, but fried food don't settle well with my tummy so this recipe is baked.
The tamari / soy sauce based dipping sauce has ginger, lemon, a touch of agave, and sliced chives. Wanna add some heat? Add a little sriracha or chili pepper flakes to the mix.
Can't afford or find crab? No problem - substitute canned tuna.
Forgot to get or don't have the egg to seal the wontons? Use water mixed with a little cornstarch instead to seal the sides of the crab rangoon.
Serving Suggestion
Serve this Baked Crab Rangoon recipe with a chicken salad or a vegetable to make a meal out of it, or use it as an appetizer for slow cooked pork, or zucchini noodles.
