- The crab meat portion has to be more than cream cheese in the filling. This will make the crab rangoon taste more crab taste than cream cheese taste.
- After making the rangoon refrigerate them for 10 to 15 minutes. This will make the rangoon easy to fry evenly and stay intact.
- Do not add much filling to the rangoon as it might leak while frying the rangoon. Add half to 1 teaspoon of filling at the center of the wrapper.
- The crab rangoon filling should be dry and not with any water content, if the filling is not dry then it will leak from the wrapper while frying.
