• 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.)

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Place the crab meat, cream cheese, carrots, celery, garlic powder, worcestershire sauce and salt in a bowl and mix together to form the filling for crab rangoon.
• To wrap crab rangoon, take a square wonton wrapper and place two teaspoons filling in the center. Brush the edges with whisked egg and bring opposite ends of both sides together to form a pocket shape. Repeat till all the filling is consumed. While making one piece, make sure the other wrappers are covered with a damp cloth or they'll dry out.
• Heat a skillet of 4 inches oil to 350 degrees and fry the crab rangoons, a few at a time, till golden brown. This should take 3-4 minutes.
• Serve hot with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce.

CRAB RANGOON RECIPE

Steps:

• Place wonton wrappers aside and combine all other filling ingredients in a medium bowl.
• Place 1 teaspoon of filling in center of each wonton.
• Moisten the edges of the wonton with a little bit of the egg/water mixture (i.e. egg wash). Fold in a triangle and press to seal- removing air from the inside. Use the egg wash like a glue as you assemble.
• Take the left and right sides of the triangle and pull them up, attaching them to the existing seal on the top. Then press along the edges to close any areas where the filling could be exposed to air. Here is an alternative folding method. Repeat, setting aside on a plate.

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.

• 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.

• NOTE: I like hoisin or plum sauce and sweet and sour -- even jalapeno pepper jelly!

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Remove the cream cheese from its packaging, set it in a large bowl and let it soften at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
• Make the dipping sauce, if desired: Stir the ketchup, sugar and rice vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring it just to a boil, whisking until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool completely.
• Add the scallions, lemon zest, sugar and salt to the softened cream cheese. Using clean hands, gently flake the crab meat into a separate bowl; pick out any shell fragments. Using a silicone spatula, mix the shredded crab into the cream cheese mixture until evenly incorporated.
• Unwrap the wonton wrappers from their packaging and separate them from one another. (This will speed up the process when filling them.) Stack them loosely and completely cover with a damp paper towel to keep them moist. Place 1 cup water in a nearby bowl.
• Place a wrapper on a flat surface, rotated in a diamond position. Spoon 2 to 3 teaspoons of the filling into its center, using another small spoon to assist scraping it off the teaspoon. Dip your index finger into the water, then use it to moisten the entire edge of the wrapper. To make a simple rangoon, fold the wrapper into a triangle by pulling one corner to its opposite corner, pressing out any air and sealing the wonton shut. To make a star-shaped rangoon, lift the left and right corners underneath between your index fingers and thumbs, and lift them up toward the center, pinching your index fingers and thumbs along the seams to fold each tip as you do it, so that a four-pointed star shape forms. Squeeze out any air, then seal the wrapper along the other two tips so the filling is entirely encased.
• Place the sealed rangoon on a sheet pan or flat surface dusted with flour as you repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. Freeze them for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 weeks in an airtight container) before cooking to ensure that they leak less during frying.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven to 350 degrees. (The temperature will fluctuate when frying, but make sure the oil doesn't smoke or dip below 300 degrees.) Keep the oil over a medium flame or half power on an electric range to help maintain the temperature. Working in batches, fry the rangoons until golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• Let cool a few minutes before enjoying, as they will be lava-hot out of the fryer. Enjoy with the optional dipping sauce or another sauce of your choice.
