Baked Crab Rangoon Recipe

Crab rangoon are deep-fried dumpling appetisers served in American Chinese and, more just recently, Thai dining establishments, packed with a mix of cream cheese, gently flaked crab meat (more frequently, canned crab meat or replica crab meat), with scallions, and/or garlic.
The sweet, delicate taste of crab and the crispy structure of deep-fried wonton produce an intriguing mix.
Many people do not recognize that, in spite of having the capital city of Burma in its name, crab rangoon isn't really an Asian recipe.
The 4 fundamental components in Crab Rangoon are crab, cream cheese, green/spring onions, and wonton wrappers. From there, the only limitation is your creativity.
You might utilize egg roll wrappers in place of wonton, or replacement cilantro for the green onion. In any occasion, today Crab Rangoon (sometimes misspelled as Crab Ragoon) is popular, especially in eastern states and the Midwest.
