Yield

Ingredients

8 oz. cream cheese
4 oz. cooked crab meat we used this brand
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
24 wonton wrappers thawed
Water for sealing
Cooking oil spray

Easy Sweet & Sour Sauce

¼ cup raspberry jam
2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
2 teaspoons sriracha

Instructions

Place the cream cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder into a large bowl. Mix with a hand mixer until everything is well combined. Add the crab and mix together one more time. Set aside.
Scoop 1 heaping teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the corner of one of the wonton wrappers. Dip your fingers in water and wet the outer edge of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wonton wrapper over the cream cheese mixture and seal by pushing out any air bubbles and pinching the edges together. Then, dab water at one of the bottom points and fold it over to the other point, like a wonton hug. Repeat until the filling is gone and you have about 24 rangoons.
Spray the tops and bottoms of all of the wontons with cooking spray, and set aside.
Preheat the air fryer to 400℉. Place 4-6 wontons in the air fryer and cook for 3-4 minutes. Continue until you have cooked them all.
To make the sweet and sour sauce, place all of the ingredients into a small bowl and stir to combine. Serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

It is important to push out as much air as you can when folding the wrapper. It will stop the wontons from bubbling/blowing up while frying.
Air-fried rangoons take a bit longer to cook than deep frying. Because of this, we recommend working with colder cream cheese. You could also refrigerate the rangoons before cooking for 10 minutes between steps 2 and 3.
