Crab Rangoon has reached near mythical pop culture status, and the only way I could add to it is with bacon! These crispy, fatty, delicious nuggets really make the textural difference in this amazing version.

Ingredients

Directions

Special equipment:
a deep-fry thermometer
  1. Mix together the cream cheese, crabmeat, bacon, scallions, soy sauce, chile crisp, pepper and garlic powder in a bowl until well combined.
  2. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 365 to 370 degrees F.
  3. Place a teaspoonful of filling on a wonton wrapper, then brush the edges with water and fold into the desired shape. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  4. Fry for about 2 minutes, until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the crab rangoon to a wire rack.
