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.
