Crab Rangoon Cheesecake Food

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 DIP

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot until it reaches 350 degrees F.
• In batches, carefully lower the wrappers into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel to drain, sprinkle with salt and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the cream cheese, milk, sriracha, brown sugar and soy sauce in medium bowl. With a hand mixer, beat together until smooth, about 1 minute. Fold in the shredded crab meat, cheese and scallion whites. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Transfer to a small baking dish and bake until bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with more cheese, some paprika and the scallion greens. Serve with the fried wonton chips. (If not serving right away, cover the dip with foil to keep warm.)

CRISPY BAKED CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill a small bowl with water.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, garlic, scallions and soy sauce. Fold in the crab meat.
• Arrange the wonton wrappers on your work surface then spoon 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture into the center of each wrapper.
• Dip your finger in the water and run it around the edges of each wonton wrapper to moisten them. Fold each of the corners up and toward the center of each wonton wrapper, pinching to seal each edge and top shut.
• Arrange the rangoon in a single layer on the baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart. Spritz the rangoon with cooking spray. (This is optional but will help enhance the golden brown color.)
• Bake the rangoon until they are golden brown and crispy, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove them from the oven and serve them with sweet and sour sauce or Chinese mustard for dipping.

PALACE CAFE CRABMEAT CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preparing the Pecan Crust:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Finely grind pecans in a food processor. Add flour and salt. Mix well. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and cut in butter, working butter into flour with 2 knives until dough is in crumbs the size of small peas. Add ice water and evenly incorporate into the mixture, which should remain fairly crumbly. Roll out dough to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Press dough into a lightly greased 9-inch tart pan, starting with the sides and then the bottom. Bake crust for 20 minutes, or until golden.
• Preparing the Filling:
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a skillet, saute onion in butter until translucent. Add crabmeat and cook just until heated through, then remove from heat. Blend cream cheese until smooth in a mixer fitted with a paddle, or by hand using a wooden spoon. Add Creole cream cheese and mix well. Mix in eggs 1 at a time. Gently fold in the crabmeat mixture. Stir in hot sauce and season, to taste, with salt and white pepper. Spoon filling into prepared crust. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
• Preparing the Meuniere Sauce and Garnish:
• Combine lemon, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce in a heavy saucepot. Reduce over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wire whisk until mixture becomes thick and syrupy. Whisk in heavy whipping cream. Reduce heat to low and slowly blend in butter, 1 cube at a time, adding additional butter only after each cube has been completely incorporated into the sauce. This process is called "mounting the butter." Remove from heat and continue to stir. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Strain through a fine strainer and keep warm.
• Saute mushrooms in 2 tablespoons butter until tender and all moisture has cooked off. Excess water from the mushrooms may break your sauce if it isn't cooked off. Stir mushrooms into Meuniere sauce. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a saute pan and warm crab fingers over low heat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• To serve:
• Slice cheesecake and top each piece with warm Meuniere sauce and 3 crab claws.
