This recipe delivers perfectly crispy crab rangoons made in an air fryer, paired with a sweet chili dipping sauce. It’s a quick, easy, and less greasy alternative to traditional deep-fried crab rangoons.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 6 oz (170 g) imitation crab meat, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Wonton wrappers
  • Sweet chili sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling (10 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese with finely chopped imitation crab meat. Add green onions, garlic powder, soy sauce, and sesame oil if using. Mix until well combined and smooth.
  2. Fill and Seal Wontons (15 minutes): Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of crab filling in the center of each wrapper. Lightly brush edges with beaten egg, then fold into a triangle or purse shape, pressing firmly to seal without air pockets. Add more egg wash if needed.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer (3 minutes): Set air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat while arranging rangoons.
  4. Arrange and Cook (8-10 minutes): Place filled wontons in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Cook for 8 minutes, flip, then cook an additional 2 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve Warm: Transfer rangoons to a plate and serve immediately with sweet chili sauce.

Notes

Do not overfill wonton wrappers to prevent leaking. Seal edges well with egg wash. Arrange rangoons in a single layer and flip halfway through cooking for even crispness. Use fresh wonton wrappers for best results. For freezing, assemble but do not cook, freeze on a baking sheet, then store in a freezer bag. Air fry from frozen adding 2-3 minutes to cooking time. Avoid brushing with oil before air frying to keep crispness.
