Vegan Crab Rangoon

Vegan Crab Rangoon is a delightful twist on the classic appetizer, featuring a creamy filling made from plant-based ingredients that mimic the taste of crab. Crispy on the outside and rich in flavor, these wontons are perfect for sharing or enjoying as a snack.

Ingredients

• Vegan cream cheese - 150 grams
• Canned jackfruit (in water or brine) - 100 grams, drained and shredded
• Green onion - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Wonton wrappers - 12 pieces
• Vegetable oil - for frying
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese, shredded jackfruit, chopped green onion, garlic powder, soy sauce, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture in the center of each wrapper.
3. Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. You can also crimp the edges for extra security.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the filled wontons in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Remove the fried wontons from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with soy sauce or sweet and sour sauce for dipping.
