Description
Crispy on the outside, creamy and fluffy on the inside – these delicious Keto Crab Rangoons are everything you’ve been missing from your fave Chinese takeout place! Low carb and gluten free!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 batch Easy Keto Dough
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 6 ounces canned or fresh crab meat, cartilage removed
- 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
- oil for frying (avocado, peanut, or vegetable if that’s all you’ve got)
Instructions
- Pour oil into a large saucepan to a depth of about 2 inches.
- Heat over medium-high heat until about 375 degrees, or hot enough for a tiny piece of bread or dough to sizzle and bubble immediately when dropped into it. This will take about 5-7 minutes – once it’s hot you can turn it to low to maintain the heat until you’re ready to start frying.
- While the oil is heating, combine the cream cheese, crab, onions, fish sauce, and erythritol in a small bowl and mix well.
- Divide the Easy Keto Dough into 18 balls of about 1 inch in size.
- Press one of the balls into a circle about 3 inches around, and place about a tablespoon of filling on one half of the circle.
- Fold the “naked” half over the filling, and press all the way around to seal the filling inside the dough completely so it won’t leak out during cooking.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- Fry them about 3 at a time for 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Remove from the hot oil and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool slightly.
- Serve hot.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven for 10 minutes at 400, or in the microwave uncovered for 45 seconds to 1 minute.
