CRAB RANGOON CLASSIC STUFFED WONTON RECIPE

• Soften cream cheese to room temperature. In a small bowl combine the cream cheese, onions, soy sauce, salt, pepper and garlic. Lightly mix in the crab meat. Wonton Wrapper Preparation Lay wonton wrappers on a flat surface and add a teaspoon of crab filling in the center of the wrapper. Lightly and evenly spread the filling into a coin-shaped portion making sure to keep it well away from the outer edges. Dampen the edge of each wrapper with water and fold in half, resulting in a rectangular shape to the wrap. Dampen the edge of each wrapper with water or a lightly beaten egg and press the edges together so they seal the contents. As they are sealed, press the excess air out of the wonton to keep the wonton from puffing up as it cooks. Fold the wonton lenghtwise in half again, creating a narrow ribbon of folded dough. Moisten the edges again if necessary so they adhere better. Fold each end in toward the center of the wrap, allowing half of the end to be remain in a vertical position while the other half is folded over on top of and overlaps the opposite side end piece, like the end corners of an envelope. Press the ends together that overlap, so they adequately seal. To retain the moisture while filling and preparing each wonton, keep the filled wontons that covered with a damp cloth while preparing. When ready to cook, place the filled wontons on a baking sheet layered with parchment paper. Pour cooking oil in a skillet and heat on medium high to 350ºF Fry wontons in small batches for 3 to 4 minutes each until they are light golden brown.

FRIED CRAB WONTONS

Steps:

• Combine in a food processor the ginger, shallots, carrot, green onion, cilantro, peanut oil and lemon juice. Pulse until fine. Put vegetable mixture in a mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise and the crabmeat and season with salt and pepper. Be careful not to mash the crabmeat, you want that texture when you bite into the wonton.
• Lay a wonton wrapper on a flat surface and brush with the beaten egg white. Drop 1 tablespoon of the crab filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the wonton in half, corner to corner, to form a triangle. Press around the filling to knock out any air bubbles, then press the seam together to seal so the filling doesn't seep out. You can leave them this shape or continue on by brushing the 2 side points with beaten egg white. Lay your index finger in the center so you have something to press up against, then fold the 2 sides into the center, slightly overlapping, and press the dough against your finger with your thumb to form a tight seal. Lightly dust the filled wontons with cornstarch to keep them from sticking together and place them on a cookie sheet. (When these are folded they look like Pope hats.)
• Heat 2 to 3 inches of oil in a deep heavy saucepan to 370 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Add a few of the wontons to the oil and cook, turning them 3 or 4 times to get them nicely browned all over. Carefully lift them out of the pan with a slotted spoon and onto a paper towel-lined platter to drain. Keep going to cook all of the wontons.
• Stir together the dipping sauce and serve with the wontons.

CRAB AND CREAM CHEESE WONTONS (SWEET!)

Steps:

• Chop the crab and the onion into tiny pieces.
• Soak the onion in cold water. (The onion adds the tangy flavor. I only used the green and soaked it for a long time. If you like more onion, use the white and soak for less time).
• (Food processor may be used for next steps.)
• Add sugar to cream cheese and mix well.
• Add crab, mix well.
• Add onion, mix well.
• Using a butter knife, take some of the mixture and put into the middle of each wrapper. Bring sites together so it looks like a X from above. (the mixture holds it shut. It's important that you DO NOT seal the wrappers. The oil getting inside is what gives it it's texture.).
• Deep-Fry on 375ºF for 1-2 minutes - depending on how dark you want them. Even if they look soft when you take them out, they continue to cook after removed. Overcooking will burn the wrappers.
• (If cheese escapes a little - this is normal. If it happens every time and becomes bothersome, then just close the corners together more so it's self-sealed better. The X shape is basic, but you can squish them together more if needed).
• Place on paper towels to drain oil.
• Serving depends on how much you use in each wrapper. Time depends on how quick you are.
