Crab Rangoon is a popular American Chinese appetizer of deep-fried wonton skins filled with a mixture of crab meat and cream cheese. It is extremely appetizing and prepared similarly to wontons with thicker and creamy filling and the addition of seafood. The origins are unknown, but it's believed they were invented in the USA in the 1950s. The creamy, savory mix creates a powerful taste sensation, especially when coupled with the crispy wonton wrapper. The result is a crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside nugget of flavor.

Instructions

1.	In a bowl, combine cream cheese, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
2.	Add in the minced green onions and picked crabmeat. Stir well.
3.	Take a wonton wrapper and place a tablespoon of the mixture in the center.
4.	Seal the wrapper by dampening the edges with water and pressing together.
5.	Repeat with all the wrappers.
6.	Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat to around 350°F.
7.	Add the crab rangoons in batches and fry till golden in color, about 1-2 minutes.
8.	Drain the crab rangoons on a paper towel-lined plate and serve hot.
