Description
A fun, shareable Crab Rangoon Pizza that combines the savory crab and cream cheese flavors of the classic appetizer with a crispy wonton wrapper base.
Ingredients
Scale
- 40–50 wonton wrappers (about 45 for a 12-inch pizza)
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) neutral oil for brushing
- 340 g (12 oz) imitation crab or lump crab meat, drained and finely chopped
- 225 g (8 oz) cream cheese, room temperature
- 30 g (2 tbsp) mayonnaise
- 15 g (1 tbsp) finely grated onion or shallot
- 10 g (1 tsp) rice vinegar
- 6 g (1 tsp) soy sauce
- 6 g (1 tsp) cornstarch
- 30–40 g (2–3 tbsp) thinly sliced scallions, plus extra for garnish
- 1/4 tsp (0.5 g) kosher salt
- A few grinds of black pepper
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) sweet chili sauce for drizzling
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) toasted sesame oil for aroma
- Optional: 60 g (1/2 cup) shredded mozzarella
Instructions
- Make the Crab Filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, cornstarch, rice vinegar, and soy sauce until smooth (about 1–2 minutes). Fold in chopped crab, grated onion, and scallions. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Prepare the Wonton Crusts: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Place wonton wrappers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with oil. Bake for 6–8 minutes until golden and crisp, rotating halfway.
- Assemble the Pizza: Spoon crab filling onto each crisped wrapper, spreading to cover most of the surface. If using mozzarella, sprinkle on top.
- Finish Under High Heat: Return to oven at 220°C (425°F) and bake for 3–5 minutes until warmed through. Broil on high for 30–90 seconds for a golden top.
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle with sweet chili sauce and toasted sesame oil. Scatter extra scallions. Serve hot.
Notes
For best results, do not overmix the filling and dry the crab thoroughly. Assemble and bake just before serving to retain crispness.
