Description
Crab Rangoon is an American-Chinese appetizer likely invented in the 1940s-1950s at Trader Vic's, a Polynesian-themed tiki restaurant in California, possibly by Chinese-American chef Joe Young. These deep-fried wontons are filled with a mixture of cream cheese, crabmeat, scallions, and garlic. The appetizer became a staple of American Chinese restaurant menus, representing the fusion of American ingredients like cream cheese with Chinese cooking techniques and wonton wrappers.
