Kid Friendly Cheese Rangoons

Ulta crispy cream cheese rangoons! Filled with soft and flavorful cream cheese, they’re so easy to make at home!

We love ordering these every time we go to Panda Express! The kids love them and challenged us to make them at home. I think that making them at home is even better! This recipe is easy to make, and can be served as an appetizer, snack or even party!

Make the mixture by mixing everything in a bowl, then fill the wontons and seal them.

Keep in mind that the wonton wrappers dry out quickly, so I recommend keeping them between damp towels as you work with them and take one by one.

These are different ways to fold a wonton, but the best looking wontons (in my opinion) are when edges of the wonton are pinched together in the center. To seal the wontons, wet the corners of the wonton wrappers with water or a light egg wash and make sure that the wontons are well sealed.

Kid Friendly Cheese Rangoons

| Ingredients |

• 16 wonton wrappers
• 225G | 8 ounces cream cheese softened
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• Frying oil of choice
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ teaspoon salt

Optional Ingredients :

• Crap meat chopped
• Green onions finely chopped

| Process |

1. Add ingredients into large mixing bowl
2. To make crab rangoons, you can simply add crab to the cream cheese mixture. Sometimes I use imitation crab meat, and that works as well.
3. Place a spoonful of mix in center of wonton. Seal the edges of the wonton wrappers with water. But make sure that you just damp the edges, as too much water won’t seal the wonton wrappers. Don’t leave any opening or the cheese will ooze out.
4. Fry the rangoons in oil with a high smoke point like canola oil or even avocado oil. *Do not fry in hot that is overly heated as the cream cheese can start to boil and the wontons may burst. **EXTRA TIP: Fry in batches! If you add too many wontons at a time, the temperature of the oil will drop and you’ll end up with greasy rangoons.
5. After frying, drain the rangoons on paper towels or on a wire rack.
6. Rangoons can be baked or air fried, the texture won’t be the same but it still works. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-12 minutes.
7. Enjoy!
