- To assemble the rangoons, lay a wonton wrapper flat, place 1 1/2 tablespoons of filling in the center, and spread it into a small square. Brush the edges with water and cover with another wrapper, pressing to seal.
- Heat neutral oil in a pot or deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the rangoons in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, draining them on a rack or paper towels afterward.
- For the yuzu wasabi mayo, whisk together mayo, yuzu juice, wasabi, soy sauce, and sugar in a small bowl.
- On a large platter, arrange the crispy crab rangoons and drizzle with yuzu wasabi mayo and sweet chili sauce.
- Top with scallions, crispy garlic, sesame seeds, or furikake, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
