How to Make Keto Crab Ragoon Filling

Before you actually make the crab rangoons, you’ll want to first take a few minutes to prepare the homemade filling mixture. The crab filling is the easiest part of this recipe, so you can actually use this crab filling for other recipes as well.

  • Combine the ingredients. Add the cream cheese, soy sauce, and Sriracha sauce to a bowl and mix to combine.
  • Fold. Fold in the sliced green onions and drained crab meat.
  • Set aside. Set the mixture aside.

Once you have the crab filling ready to go, it’s time to prepare the finished rangoons.

  • Microwave the cheese. Add the shredded mozzarella cheese to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until the cheese is completely smooth.
  • Process. Add the almond flour and xanthan gum to a food processor and pulse a few times.
  • Form the dough. Add the melted mozzarella, eggs, and salt to taste and process the mixture until it forms into a dough.
  • Refrigerate. Cover the dough and refrigerate it for a minimum of one hour.
  • Prepare the dough into balls. Divide the dough into 2 balls before taking one of the dough balls and rolling it out between two pieces of parchment paper until it’s about ⅛ inch thick. Remove the top piece of parchment paper and cut into 9 squares.
  • Add the crab filling into each square piece of dough. Place one heaping teaspoon of the crab filling into the center of each square and then fold the dough over the filling to create a triangle, pinching the edges to seal them.
  • Repeat. Repeat the above steps with the remaining half of the dough.
  • Prepare the cooking skillet. Add ¼ cup of cooking oil (I recommend olive oil) to a large skillet and heat over medium heat.
  • Cook until golden brown. Work in batches to fry the triangles for 2-3 minutes per side (or until they turn golden).
  • Serve. Serve the crab rangoons with sweet and sour sauce.

Can I Freeze These Keto Crab Rangoons?

The best way to freeze your keto crab rangoons is to first arrange them all evenly on a baking sheet and then flash freeze them. Once you have frozen the rangoons, you can then transfer them into a heavy duty freezer-safe bag and keep them in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.

Best Way to Reheat These Keto Crab Rangoons

The best way to reheat your crab rangoons is to first allow them to thaw out for a bit at room temperature when you first take them out of the freezer. You should then once again use a frying pan to reheat them for best results.
