Info and tips for cheesy crab rangoon dip

Working with hot oil can be a little daunting but I promise it gets easier every time. You don’t need a fancy thermometer, a wooden chopstick or spoon will work just fine. All you need to do is add your neutral oil to a pot and turn the heat to medium. Test the heat of the oil by inserting the wooden chopstick/spoon into the oil, if it immediately bubbles you’re good to fry! If it doesn’t bubble continue heating your oil another few minutes before testing again. I also like to do a test fry with 1-2 wontons first to see if the oil is too hot or cold. The wontons should immediately bubble up and turn golden in about 30 seconds. I also like to set the wonton wrappers on a rack for the extra oil to drip off.

You can cook this dip in the oven or the air fryer- whatever works best for you. I also like to broil at the end for 1-3 minutes so the cheese gets nice and bubbly.
