How to Make Crab Rangoon

In college there was a restaurant that served up the best crab rangoon, and I\’ll be honest I haven\’t had them since college. After having crab legs for the first time with a friend and having some left over we decided it was the perfect opportunity to make crab rangoon at home and with real crab to boot. 

These crab rangoons are so much better than any I have had in a restaurant and that is because I put a lot of love and labor into cracking fresh king crab legs. I ended up frying some of the crab rangoons as well as cooking them in the air fryer to see which way I preferred them. Both ways were absolutely delicious, obviously the air fryer offers a healthier way to enjoy crab rangoon. 

The crab rangoon turned out super crispy on the outside and warm and creamy on the inside. The ingredient list is short, and these are simple to eat. The best thing about making crab rangoon at home, you can freeze them prior to frying so they\’re ready for your future snacking needs.
