Good starter for recipe but it needed some work. First off, that is way too much crab for the amount of cream cheese. I would use a lot less or it will have too much of a fishy taste. Also, I added some sugar (to taste) because of all the rangoon I've ever had I like more of a sweet creamy taste and it tasted awesome. Plus if you wanna make it easier I would throw them in the deep fryer and go about 4 minutes or so.

Delicious, just make sure to fry it on a lower heat so it doesn't cook too quickly.

This is a great recipe! Anything I can freeze and store for later use it great with two kids! :) I left out the waterchest nuts since I didn't have any on hand. But to give it a kick I added chopped jalapenos! YUMMY!!! Thank you La Vaun!

These tasted a lot like the ones I get from my fav Chinese place. My ONLY complaint was that by the time you fried them most of the filling spilled out or was mush. I think you may need a higher oil temp to fry them so it doesn't mush the insides. Otherwise, really tasty recipe.

This recipe is GREAT! I never made Crab Rangoon before and was very happy with the results! I followed some of the other reviewers and changed it to 2 blocks of cream cheese and I used the imitation crab as opposed to the real stuff. I used almost one full 8oz package of that and kept the spices the same, although, I also substituted scallions for the water chestnuts. I found if you fry them in a deep fryer, there is NO WAY that they need to be in there for 3 minutes. They fry up really fast and if left in 3 minutes, they will be charred. The recipe in my package of won ton wrappers was almost the same as this one, although, called for steak sauce??? So instead of that....for some of the very last ones, I added a little worstershire sauce. BOTH types turned out excellent. I can't wait until my husband gets home to try them! Thanks for submitting this recipe!!

Well,I was all excited to make this recipe,I was very dissapointed,I did exactly as instructed and well,they (the filling) all came out of almost all of them! My mother liked them,she said they were good even without the filling. I won't be making these again.

I chose to try this recipe because it is simular to another recipe that I created and love. In my recipe, you mix 2 cans crab meat with an 8 oz. package of cream cheese, refridgerate for an hour and pour cocktail sauce over it. Serve with Triscuts. I did not change anything about this recipe except leaving out the water chestnuts. My first review is with cocktail sauce. 5 star! Wonderful, Sweet & Sour Sauce 4 Star, and the final sauce is with Toasted Sesame Soy and Ginger 3 Star. Over all, the dish with no sauce is a 4 Star. Since it does say serve with your choice of sauces this is where it gets a 5 Star!

These taste exactly like I got them at a restaurant - a really good restaurant! I used 1 can crabmeat, left out the chestnuts, added green onion. Make sure you let the oil get hot between batches otherwise the filling would come out.

The filling is amazing. I did what other users described. I tried baking them to save the calories and it didn't work at all! The outside was hard. I guess I have to fry them. (later fried them and they were GREAT) I made 55 of them and used 2 bricks of low fat cream cheese, one can of crab meat 2 stalks of green onion, and spices.

I used packaged crab instead of canned I also thought this recipe was too crabby. I added double the cream cheese. This is a great started recipe. It depends on your taste buds, but it was too crabby for my family.

My boyfriend absolutely loved these! He had been asking me to make chinese food and crab rangoons for a couple weeks and I finally looked up a recipe. They weren't too time consuming once I got the hang of it and cooked in no time in a deep fryer. I didn't think they tasted like the ones from any restaurant but they were good. I swear my boyfriend ate 20 of them that night and has been telling everyone how great they were. He won't stop bugging me to make them again!

My friends loved this one! I served at a "girls night" gathering at my home and these were a big hit. I did not use water chestnuts because I did not have any and I baked them in my mini cupcake pan (instead of frying)and they were just perfect! Even my 7 year old daughter ate them up.

I'm glad I read the reviews before making this. I also used just one can of crab and definitely think two would have been too much. The soy sauce suggestion was good too. This was a lot of fun to make and everyone loved it!

After making this a few times I did tweak some things. I only use 1 can of crab meat- 2 would be so overwhelming! Sometimes I use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika- it gives it a nice taste. Of course frying them tastes better but basting them with a little egg and baking them is still really good.
