Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 burger buns
- 4 oz lump crab meat (or imitation crab)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil (optional)
- 8 wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 4 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 4 lettuce leaves (optional)
- Sliced tomato and red onion (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix crab meat, cream cheese, green onion, soy sauce, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and sesame oil until smooth. Chill the mixture for 10–15 minutes.
- Shape ground beef into 4 patties and season with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-fry over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side, or until cooked to desired doneness.
- While burgers cook, cut wonton wrappers into triangles and fry in hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Lightly toast burger buns.
- Spread 1–2 tablespoons of the crab Rangoon mixture on the top bun or directly onto the cooked patty during the last minute of cooking to warm it slightly.
- Assemble each burger with lettuce, tomato, beef patty, a spoonful of crab Rangoon filling, crispy wonton chips, and a drizzle of sweet chili sauce.
- Top with the bun and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can broil the crab Rangoon mixture on the burger for a hot, melty finish.
- Use real lump crab for a premium taste, or imitation for a budget-friendly option.
- Serve with sweet potato fries or an Asian slaw for a full meal.
