Crab Rangoon Or Really Krab Rangoon Food

CRAB RANGOON (CRAB & CREAM CHEESE FILLED WONTONS)

Steps:

• Preheat 1 inch of oil to 325°F over medium heat.
• In a small bowl, gently combine crab meat, cream cheese, green onion, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (if using), and garlic powder.
• Layout 3 wonton wrappers at a time. Place 2 teaspoons of the filling in the center of each. Dab the edges with water and fold the two opposite corners together to form a triangle. Wet the tips of the triangle and fold inward. Continue until all of your filling is used up.

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:

• 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.

CRAB RANGOON (OR REALLY, KRAB RANGOON)

Steps:

• Beat together the cream cheese, garlic powder, and sugar until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the sour cream, c(K)rab, soy sauce, and sliced green onions. Beat until combined.
• Prepare a work space - you will need a surface that can be dried intermittently to fill the wrappers , a cookie sheet (and probably backup sheets) lined with wax paper to receive the filled wrappers, a small dish of water to moisten the wrappers so that they seal after being filled, and a towel to keep your workspace clean and dry. You will also need a paper towel-lined cookie sheet to place the fried rangoon on to drain after frying.
• Fill the wrappers by laying out six individual wrappers onto your prepared work surface. Place about a teaspoon of filling into the middle of each wrapper. Moisten the outside edges of the wrapper with water and then pinch opposite sides of the wrapper together above the filling. Alternately, you could fold the wrapper into triangles. Secure the seams of the wrapper by pressing the moistened edges together. Place onto the wax paper-lined cookie sheet in a single layer.
• Heat the oil to 350 Farenheit in a heavy bottomed pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Regardless of the width of the pan you should have 1" to 2" of oil in the bottom at all times. When the oil has reached the proper temperature, carefully drop individual rangoon into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the rangoon - there should only be a single "layer" in the oil at a given time.
• Using a metal utensil (a slotted spoon or metal spider basket), turn the rangoon when they are browned on one side. When they are golden brown and delicious on both sides, remove the cooked rangoon to a paper towel-lined cookie sheet to drain and cool.
• If you are frying a portion of the rangoon and freezing the remainder for later, you will have best results if you place a single layer of the raw, filled rangoon on the wax paper-lined cookie sheet, ensuring that they aren't touching one another. Freeze the rangoon solid on the sheet and then put into a freezer bag, label, and return to the freezer. Then, whenever the urge to fry some up strikes you can take just the number you want from the freezer bag and leave the rest for later. Enjoy!

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.
