About This Dish

Cream Cheese Rangoon is the appetizer people plan their Panda Express order around: crisp wonton wrappers folded around a sweet cream cheese filling and fried to order, 190 calories for the three piece serving, sold a la carte at a store set price and added to any format. It is the single most requested add on in the store, and the one item people order extra of.

The appeal is contrast. The wrapper shatters, the filling stays warm and slightly sweet, and the whole thing takes about two bites. The corners fry darker than the middle and carry most of the crunch, which is why people eat around them. Vegetarian by ingredients, though the fryer is shared with chicken and shrimp, so anyone strict should ask. It looks like folded paper flowers on the tray and disappears faster than anything else in the store.

Cream Cheese Rangoon calories run 190 for three pieces with 8 g of fat and 24 g of carbs. That works out to roughly 63 calories a piece, which makes it one of the more forgiving indulgences on a menu where entrees run past 500. Sodium sits at 180 mg. The published flags are wheat, egg and milk, the milk arriving through the cream cheese.

How much is Cream Cheese Rangoon? No national a la carte price is published, so each store prices it, with small and large sizes available. The large runs twelve pieces against the small's three.

It suits sharing, a side craving alongside any entree, and anyone who thinks a meal needs something crisp in it. Pair it with Sweet and Sour Sauce at 70 calories a packet, the canonical dip, and eat them first: they go soft inside ten minutes in a takeout bag, which is the one real weakness of the dish.

How to Make Cream Cheese Rangoon at Home

Rangoon is a folding exercise more than a cooking one. Seal the edges properly and the filling stays inside; miss a corner and it leaks into the oil.

Tips

  • Press the air out before sealing or they inflate and split.
  • A rounded teaspoon is the limit; overfilling is the number one cause of blowouts.
  • They freeze raw beautifully and fry straight from frozen with an extra minute.

Variations

  • Add crab meat for the traditional crab rangoon.
  • A pinch of chili powder in the filling gives a subtle heat.
  • Air fryer at 375 F for 8 minutes with a light oil spray works well.

Serve it with: Sweet and sour sauce for dipping. Serve immediately; these do not wait.
