Prepare the Wonton Cups

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin. Press a wonton wrapper into each muffin cup to form a cup shape.

In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Mix until well combined.

Fill the Cups

Spoon the crab filling into each wonton cup, filling them generously.

Bake the Cups

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crispy.

Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve with sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Tips for Perfect Wonton Cups

To ensure your wonton cups come out perfectly crispy, avoid overfilling them with the crab mixture. A generous amount is great, but too much filling can cause them to become soggy during baking.

Make sure your muffin tin is well-greased before pressing in the wonton wrappers. This will help them release easily after baking and maintain their shape, giving you beautifully formed cups.

Serving Suggestions

These crab rangoon cups are best served warm, so try to time your preparation accordingly. Pair them with sweet chili sauce for dipping, which complements the flavors beautifully and adds a touch of sweetness.

For an extra touch, consider garnishing your cups with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or finely chopped cilantro. This not only enhances the presentation but also adds a fresh layer of flavor that complements the creamy filling.
