Cream Cheese and Avocado Wontons Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Do wontons get soggy? ›

Nobody likes a soggy Fried Wonton, and there's a great trick to getting the wrapper ultra crisp. Instead of sealing the wrapper shut like an envelope with water, you leave the majority of the folded wrapper unsealed, using just a dab of water to pinch the ends together.

Wonton filling

There are many types of wonton fillings, but I'd say that pork and shrimp/prawns are the most common. Then there are all sorts of additions, including mushrooms, water chestnuts, chopped up Asian greens and even carrots.

Crab rangoon is a type of fried wonton, so they are really very similar. The difference is all in the filling. Traditional wontons are not ever filled with cream cheese (which is one of the main components in crab rangoon recipes).

How to store our dumplings, wontons, and baos. Our dumplings, wontons, and baos arrive frozen and raw for maximum freshness. When you get them, put them promptly into your freezer. Do NOT thaw them before cooking; they go straight from the freezer into the pan or pot!

Bring a wok halfway full with water to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the wontons in batches until they float to the surface, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Wontons are usually cooked through when they float, unless there are air pockets within it. To check for doneness, cut one open. (If you like, cook some noodles using the same boiling water to make wonton noodle soup.)

Try dusting off the flour as much as you can beforehand and fry the wontons on low to medium heat for about 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the wrappers are golden and the bubbling starts to subside (a sign that the wrappers are crispy.) Tip : Remember, keep the heat medium low.

Use egg wash (1 egg + 1-2 Tbsp. water) as the “glue” around all the edges and make sure to seal them completely when folding your wontons.

Often they burst during cooking because they have too much filling for the amount of dough. Some doughs are too dry, so the dumplings won't stay sealed. Others can be too wet and sticky and end up tearing. If the filling isn't cohesive enough, it will tumble out when you bite into it.

Combine cream cheese, crabmeat, green onions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce together in a bowl. To prevent wonton wrappers from drying, prepare only one or two Rangoon at a time, keeping the other wrappers under a damp towel. Place 1 teaspoon crab filling onto the center of each wonton wrapper.

Cream Cheese Rangoons

The inside of these crispy rangoons contains cream cheese and diced scallions (no crab here!), so they're technically vegetarian-friendly if you can get past the fact that they are fried in the same fryers as non-vegetarian items.
