No one knows the exact origin of these Crab Wontons, otherwise known as Crab Rangoon or Crab Puffs, but they were popularized by Polynesian restaurants. All I know is that when my mother introduced these pillows of creamy crabmeat heaven in her restaurants, people went wild—so wild, in fact, that she eventually took out the crab and just made them with cream cheese!
