What is Crab Rangoon?
Crab rangoon is a type of appetizer consisting of cream cheese, crabmeat, and seasonings wrapped inside a wonton. Thought to have originated in America as an Asian treat, crab rangoon is a popular dish to serve at parties and is a staple appetizer served at American Chinese restaurants, but it is not a common dish in China. There are certain consistencies necessary to prepare crab rangoon, but there are many variations of recipes, most of which involve deep frying the ingredient-stuffed wonton.
