May these 4 crab wonton recipes give you some ideas to create your own.
My dad used to like to buy food in large quantities and throw food parties with the extended family. His favourite is durian parties but crab parties are also popular. There are always leftovers and my grandmother will have to find ways to use them up. There was leftover crab fried rice, leftover crab congee, and leftover crab wontons.
You don’t have to buy fresh crab just to make crab wontons. It is okay to use ready-packed, frozen or canned. You can even try using imitation crab sticks.
Let me share 4 recipes.
This recipe is a traditional wonton boiled and served in soup. It contains ground pork. If you do not eat pork, substitute with ground chicken.

This recipe is by Kikkoman. It is not a traditionally wrapped crab wonton. The skin is shaped into cups using a muffin tray so that it can hold the crab cream cheese dip. The cups are baked in the oven for 15 minutes and topped with a cabbage coleslaw. I think it is easy enough. What do you think?
Choose the whitish wrappers over the yellow ones. The yellow ones have eggs in them and may turn out hard. More details at my wonton wrappers page.

This Chinese recipe features imitation crab meat and shredded cheddar to make a crispy wonton roll using the air fryer. The video did not specify the quantity of the ingredients. I will attempt to give some.

Crab rangoon is not strictly a Chinese dish. But since it uses the wonton wrapper, I am going to include it here.
I like the texture of fresh crab meat together with soft cream cheese. Add on the crunch of a crispy wonton case. Lethal combination!
