Crab Rangoon Bites Food

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Pick over the crab to remove pieces of shell.
• Use only about 1/2 t of filling for each wonton.
• Seal edges with beaten egg.
• (Make sure you squeeze out all the air or they'll pop open during frying and make a real mess)!
• Deep fry at 350º until golden brown and crispy.
• Blot on paper towels.

BAKED CRAB RANGOON RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375F.
• Brush each of the wontons on both sides with olive oil and then push them into the well of a mini-muffin pan to create a small cup. Bake for 5 minutes, or until the wontons are no longer limp.
• While the wontons are baking, combine the remaining ingredients (cream cheese, mayonnaise, crab meat, green onion, lime juice, shredded cheese, soy sauce, sriracha, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder) in a small bowl.
• Fill each of the wonton cups with crab rangoon dip. Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the shells are golden brown on the outside and the filling is hot all the way through. Garnish with additional green onion, if desired.

• Place 1 teaspoon filling in center of each wonton skin.
• Moisten edges with water.
• Fold in half to form triangle, pressing edges to seal.
• Pull bottom corners down and overlap slight; moisten one corner and press to seal. (Usually there is a diagram on the wonton package. I think they look like little kerchiefs.).
• Arrange on baking sheet that has been coated with vegetable spray.
• Brush with melted butter.
• Bake in 425º oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

CHEF JOHN'S CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, sesame oil, and cayenne pepper together with a fork until ingredients are blended thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, 1 or 2 hours.
• Keep wonton wrappers moist by covering with a damp paper towel. Place a small bowl of water nearby on the work surface. With a wet fingertip, moisten surface of wonton. Place 1 1/2 teaspoons of crab filling in center of wonton. Fold 2 opposite corners toward each other over the filling but without touching tips together yet. Fold up the other 2 corners. Working gently from the bottom, squeeze out any air bubbles; pinch together the 4 seams from the bottom up to create a modified pyramid (or "warhead") shape. Place on a dry surface. Continue with remaining wontons.
• Heat oil in deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Fry wontons in batches until golden brown and crispy, gently moving them around in the oil with a strainer to brown each surface, about 3 minutes. Let cool about a minute before eating. Serve with the dipping sauce.
• Whisk ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and sriracha sauce together in a bowl for the dipping sauce.

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Combine garlic, cream cheese, crab, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce in a bowl. To prevent wonton skins from drying, prepare only 1 or 2 rangoon at a time. Place 1 teaspoon of filling onto the center of each wonton skin. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wonton skin diagonally to form a triangle, pressing edges to seal. Moisten one of the bottom corners. Create a crown by pulling both bottom corners together and sealing. Arrange the rangoon on the baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

CHEESY CRAB BITES

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed pot fitted with a deep-frying thermometer.
• Combine the mozzarella, cream cheese, garlic salt and crushed red pepper in a food processor. Pulse until a thick paste is formed, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough to form a 16-by-12-inch rectangle. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out 10 to 12 rounds of dough. Use your fingertips to gently stretch each round of dough into a 4-inch circle. Top a round of dough (slightly off-center) with 1 heaping teaspoon of the cheese mixture and 1 teaspoon crabmeat. Fold the dough in half over the filling to create a half-moon. Press the edges together to seal the pocket and crimp with the prongs of a fork. (See Cook's Note.) Repeat this process with the remaining circles and filling.
• Preheat the vegetable oil to 350 degrees F and line a plate with paper towels.
• Working in batches, carefully lay the pizza pockets in the hot oil. Fry until deeply golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minute on each side. Remove from the hot oil to the lined plate to cool slightly.
• Garnish with fresh parsley.

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Whip together the sour cream, cream cheese and soy sauce and sugar until smooth.
• Fold in remaining ingredients (except wrappers) Heat oil to med-high and you want it around 1 1/2-2 inches deep.
• Place a small bowl of water on your work surface and lay out 6 wrappers, and place around 1 1 1/2 t's in the center of each wrapper.
• Moisten edges, bring up corners and pinch together, along with sides-you dont want filling to float away.
• Place all 6 in the hot oil and repeat process.
• By the time you have the next set of 6 ready to crimp it should be time to turn the rangoon's.
• You want them a nice golden color.
• When done remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towells.
• Repeat until done.
• Try to share.

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• For the sweet and sour sauce: Add the sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar, cherry syrup, ketchup and salt to a 3-quart saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Combine the cornstarch with 1/4 cup water in a bowl and mix well; add this to the sugar mixture. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• For the wontons: Combine the crab, cream cheese, green onions, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Mix well to combine; I found using your hands can sometimes be the best way. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean work surface. Place 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrappers with a little of the egg wash, then fold each into a triangle. Press to seal the wontons, squeezing out any trapped air; this will ensure that the wontons stay closed during frying.
• Heat 2 inches oil in a deep-fryer or a Dutch oven to 375 degrees F. Fry a few wontons at a time until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. When you add the wontons to the oil, the temperature will drop about 10 degrees. Try to keep the temperature maintained at 360 degrees F. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate or sheet pan fitted with a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining wontons. Serve with the sweet and sour sauce and enjoy!

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Press out as much liquid as possible from the crabmeat you are using. Any excess moisture will soak through the wonton skins. In a medium bowl, combine the crab, cream cheese, scallions, tarragon, salt and pepper either with your hands or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
• Take a wonton skin, place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper.
• With a finger dipped in egg, moisten the 2 adjacent sides; fold over the opposing corner to make a triangle. (You have some choices with shape. You can make a purse, tortellini or traditional triangle wontons.)
• Place the completed ones on a tray. Uncooked, rangoons can be wrapped and kept frozen for 1 to 2 weeks and dropped into the fryer frozen.
• Heat oil in a 4- or 5-quart (3.8- or 4.7-L) Dutch oven or pot until the oil reaches 360 degrees F (182 degrees C). Fry in small batches until golden about 2 minutes on each side and drain on a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. I like to serve these with sweet chili or plum sauce.

Steps:

• Lightly grease mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Place one wonton wrapper on each muffin cup and lightly spritz with cooking spray.
• Bake in a 350 F for about 8 to 10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove from oven and allow to slightly cool.
• In a bowl, beat cream cheese with hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.
• Add crab meat, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and 3/4 of the green onions. Stir to combine.
• Using a scoop, fill wonton cups with cream cheese mixture.
• Return to oven to bake for about 8 to 10 minutes or until filling is heated through.
• Remove from oven and top with remaining green onions. Serve immediately with dipping sauce of choice.
