Get ready to elevate your appetizer game with these Spicy Mango Crab Rangoon! This recipe combines the classic creamy crab filling with a tangy twist of mango and a spicy kick, making it a fun and flavorful addition to any gathering.
The star of our filling is obviously the cream cheese, which provides that beloved creamy texture. Next, we have crab meat, bringing in its delicate seafood flavor — make sure it’s well-drained to avoid a soggy filling. The surprise element here is fresh mango, diced small, to add sweetness and a bit of tropical flair. Sriracha sauce contributes the heat, while soy sauce offers a salty depth. Green onions give a fresh crunch, and a dash of garlic powder and ground ginger add aromatic warmth. Finally, a hint of black pepper rounds it all out with a touch of spice.
These Spicy Mango Crab Rangoon are best enjoyed warm and crispy. Pair them with a sweet chili sauce or a simple soy dipping sauce to complement the flavors. They make a great appetizer for Asian-themed dinners or can be served alongside a fresh green salad for a light lunch.
Start by grabbing a bowl and combining your softened cream cheese with the crab meat, diced mango, sriracha, soy sauce, green onions, garlic powder, ginger, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated — this is your flavorful filling.
Next, take a wonton wrapper and place it on a clean, dry surface. Add a teaspoon of the filling right in the center. Dip your finger in some water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Now, fold it into a triangle, pressing the edges to seal it tight. You want to make sure there's no filling peeking out.
Heat up some vegetable oil in a deep pan until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You'll fry the wontons in batches, so don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes or until they turn a lovely golden brown and are crispy. Once done, remove them from the oil and let them drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
