There are lots of ways to fold wontons, this method is my preferred way!
Cover any wonton wrappers that you’re not actively folding with a dish towel as they dry out quickly.
Place 1 tsp of filling in the middle of each one.

Where to Find Wonton Wrappers
These are usually located in the refrigerated area of the produce section where they have tofu, egg roll wrappers, and refrigerated salad dressings.
Filling Ideas for Wontons
My sweet Cream Cheese Wonton recipe proves that sweet combinations are just as delicious as savory ones! Here are some filling options to get creative with for this recipe:
Cream Cheese + Nutella
Cream Cheese + Diced Pineapple
Strawberry Cream Cheese or blueberry jelly + cream cheese
Cream Cheese + Powdered Sugar + Orange Marmalade
Cream Cheese + Garlic Powder + Onion Powder + Cheddar Cheese (A savory option)
Make-Ahead Method
Once they’re folded, simply place uncooked Crab Rangoon onto a baking pan or plate, flash freeze them for an hour, then slide them into a freezer bag or Tupperware container. This allows them to be stored together without sticking to one another.
When ready to serve: Remove them from the freezer, let let them thaw for a few minutes, then simply fry or bake. Poof! Homemade Crab Rangoon whenever you feel like it.
Storage
REFRIGERATING:
Wonton wrappers dry out very quickly unless they have been cooked, so only store them in the fridge if you have already baked/fried them.
FREEZING:
Before Cooking: (Recommended)
Place the filled & folded wontons on a plate or tray and flash freeze them for about 15 minutes. They can then be stored in a freezer bag or airtight container without sticking to each other.
These can be fried in their frozen state. To bake them, let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then or baked at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
After Cooking:
Place the cooked wontons on a plate or tray and flash freeze them for about 15 minutes. They can then be stored in a freezer bag or airtight container without sticking to each other.
To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
REHEATING:
To reheat refrigerated Crab Rangoon, place them on a baking sheet and crisp them up in the oven at 300° for about 5 minutes.
Frozen crab rangoon can also be reheated at 300°. Cover with foil and bake for 5 minutes, then remove the foil and bake until crispy, about 4-5 more minutes.
