Crab Rangoon Wontons Food

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Place the cream cheese, crab meat, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, green onions, and salt to taste in a bowl. Stir to combine.
• Place a wrapper on the counter. Using your finger, wet the edges with water. Place about 2 teaspoons (13g) of filling in the center of the wrapper.
• Fold up 2 opposite corners to meet in the center. Press to seal. Fold up the remaining 2 corners to meet in the center, trying to keep the edges lined up and even. Press all edges again to seal carefully.
• Repeat with the remaining wontons and filling.
• To fry the Rangoon, heat an inch of oil in a pan to 350° Fry the Rangoon, several pieces at a time, until they're golden and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove. Let drain on paper towels. Repeat the frying process with remaining wontons.
• Serve immediately with dipping sauce of choice and garnish with more sliced green onions.

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.

CRAB RANGOON WONTONS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, gently combine the softened cream cheese, crabmeat, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and green onion.
• Place a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface. Lay the wrapper with the corner facing up, so it looks like a "diamond" shape.
• Brush the edges of the wrapper with the egg and place 2 teaspoons of the crab filling in the center.. Do not overfill.
• Fold the bottom corner up to to seal the wonton in a triangle shape.
• Fold the two remaining corners toward the center, pressing out any air surrounding the filling. Be sure to press all of the edges together firmly to seal well.
• Keep the remaining wonton wrappers and the folded wontons covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out while working.
• Fill a deep skillet with 2 to 3 inches of oil and allow to heat to 350°F. Use an Instant Read Thermometer to check the temperature.
• Fry the wontons in small batches, about 5 to 6 at a time, depending on the size of your skillet.
• Fry until wontons are golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes, turning a couple of times during frying.
• Once golden brown, remove and place on paper towels to drain before serving with a dipping sauce.

CRAB RANGOON (CREAM CHEESE CRAB WONTON)

Steps:

• Press out as much liquid as possible from any crab meat you are using. Any excess moisture will soak through the wonton skins. In a medium bowl combine the crab, cream cheese, green onion, tarragon, salt and pepper either with your hands or a mixer with a paddle attachment.
• Take a wonton skin, place 1 teaspoon of 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°F (182°C). Fry in small batches until golden about 2 minutes on each side and drain on a wire rack over a cookie sheet. I like to serve these with sweet chili or plum sauce.

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.

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!

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.
