These were so good that I decided to share them with a few of my neighbours and they were all raving! The only change I made was fresh parsley instead of dried. The blend of ginger, cilantro and soy sauce are the keys to this very tasty recipe.

Soy Sauce was over powering. The proportions are all wrong! I wish I had read the reviews more carefully. Most wonton wrappers have directions for crab rangoon on them. I would follow those next time.

These were great- with some tweaking. I omitted the ginger, used scallions instead of cilantro, used shredded FRESH snow crab meat, added 1/2 t. of garlic powder, and 1 1/2 t. of light brown sugar, and kept the soy sauce down to 1 T. The overall mixture really balanced out when I added the sugar. MMMM! I served these along with pork/mushroom potstickers and green tea ice cream to my very spoiled hubby. ;) *NOTE* I've found the easiest way to fold these for frying is to lay the won ton flat over the side of a loose fist. With your other hand, spoon a 1/2 t. of the filling in the center. Gather all the edges together and crimp into a little "purse", making sure to squeeze out all of the air that you can. ENJOY!

This is a tasty, easy to make recipe. I ended up adding more (if not double) the amount of ginger, cilantro, and crabmeat. I made a batch with sundried tomato cream cheese, which added an non-conventional twist. I fried them up in a frying pan with a moderate amount of oil and didn't miss the deep frying at all. They turned out hot and crispy.

I halved the amount of soy sauce and still thought these were so-so. Next time, I'll only use about 2 tsp. soy sauce and cut the crab in half. Don't get me wrong, they were edible but not great. Also the amount of filling will fill 2 packages of wrappers, 60 to a pack. So I have half the filling left and will add another brick of cream cheese and more of the spices to use it up.

This was a great recipe. Everyone loved it! The only thing I did differently is I lowered the amount of soy sauce I put in it to 2 Tablespoons. Love it. Thanks!

Thought these were great. I added diced scallion in place of cilantro & only half the soy sauce. They were being eaten faster than I could fry them.

WAYYYY too much soy sauce. Almost not edible. Use only a dash or two if any. I agree with the advice on adding green onion...or use Crab Rangoon III recipe on this site. :)

This recipe is great - it tastes yummy! It was not easy for me - took a long time to fry and wrap the little guys - but, the family went crazy for them - The only problem is everyone wants me to bring them to all the family get togethers! I said this is for special occasions only - soooo good. I used all fresh ingredients!

I used more crab than the recipie called for. My only issue is that it's sort of hard to get enough done for everyone to eat them hot and at the same time. I did leave out the ginger root, simply because I dont' care for the taste, but this was a great recipie. Thanks!

I found these very simple and easy to make and they came out great. I made a few changes after reading other reviews: I left out the soy sauce and cilantro and added a spoonful of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and part of an onion (I halved the recipe and these are the amounts I used). I used a blender to combine the crab, onion, and ginger and I mixed everything else by hand. With these changes I give the recipe 5 stars. It always pays to read the reviews!

I didn't have any won ton wrappers so I just made the filling. I used some garlic salt, half the ground ginger and not even half of the soy sauce. Didn't put in any of the cilantro or parsley. Used the filling as a dip with crackers.

Excellent recipe. I followed the rcipe to a "T" until it was time to fry. I coated a frying pan with a thick layer of a non-stick olive oil spray and the face-up side of the wontons as well. I fried them for about 4-5 minutes on each side at low-med heat. They were great and a lot less fatty.

This recipe was great. I had a craving for crab rangoon and this hit the spot. I did leave out the soy sauce and added minced garlic and 3 green onions. Would probably add more onions next time. I only used 3/4 of a pound of imitation crab meat. We dipped ours in sweet and sour sauce. They were a little time consuming but fun for something different.

My husband and I love crab rangoon! In our opinion this had too much crab and we ended up having to buy a ton of cream cheese to compensate. Also, the soy sauce is very very strong. If you like the taste of the crab and the cheese you should leave it out and try frying a few. Once you've got it in.. it's all over :) Putting a 1/2 t of sugar in for each cream cheese makes it taste just a bit sweet, like one of our favorite places. Wish we wouldn't have put the soy sauce in!
