Crab meat (fresh or canned)
Green onions
Soy sauce

Instructions

Prepare your workstation with all ingredients and tools.
In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, crab meat, chopped green onions, and soy sauce until well combined.
Soak each rice paper wrapper in warm water for about 10-15 seconds until pliable.
Lay a soaked wrapper on a clean surface, place one tablespoon of filling in the center, fold in edges like an envelope, and seal tightly.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange filled rangoons on a lined baking sheet and lightly spray or brush with oil.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce.
