2 green onions with tops, finely sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon light soy sauce
48 wonton wrappers

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, crabmeat, green onions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce until smooth and evenly combined.
  • Keep the wonton wrappers covered with a damp cloth while assembling to prevent them from drying out.
  • Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
  • Lightly moisten the edges with water, fold diagonally into a triangle, and press firmly to seal out air.
  • Dampen one bottom corner, bring the two bottom corners together, and press to seal, forming the traditional crab rangoon shape.
