Tips & Variations

  • For extra crispiness, lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray before baking.
  • Try adding finely chopped water chestnuts or shredded carrots to the cream cheese filling for added texture.
  • If you prefer frying, heat oil in a pan and fry the rolls until golden brown instead of baking.
  • Swap sweet and sour sauce with sweet chili or soy sauce for a different dipping flavor.

Storage

Store leftover cream cheese rangoon rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to regain their crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the wrappers soggy.

FAQs

Can I make these rangoon rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the rolls and keep them covered in the fridge for a few hours before baking. Avoid making them too far in advance to prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy.

Can I freeze Cream Cheese Rangoon Rolls?

Absolutely. Freeze the assembled and sealed rolls on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Bake them straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick foil to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic salt, and finely chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well integrated and creamy.

Notes

  • Moistening the edges of the wrappers is essential for proper sealing to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
  • Flipping the rolls halfway through baking guarantees even crispness on all sides.
  • These rolls can be paired with a variety of sauces such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or a tangy raspberry vinaigrette for different flavor experiences.
  • Serve alongside Asian slaw, jasmine or basmati rice, or cucumber salad to complement and balance flavors.
