Incredible Crab Rangoon Recipes

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.

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!

Steps:

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

INCREDIBLE CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except wonton skins until well blended.
• Adjust seasonings, but be gentle with the Worcestershire and soy sauces, or the cheese will turn a dirty brown color, which isn't too appetizing.
• Chill cheese well before starting assembly.
• Place 1 rounded teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton skin.
• Moisten edges with water, and fold in half to form triangles, squeezing out air as you do so.
• Moisten one bottom corner, pull bottom corners down and overlap slightly, pressing them together to seal.
• To prevent wonton skins from drying out too much, prepare just a few at a time, keeping the remaining skins covered with a damp towel.
• Transfer to a tray, cover with plastic wrap, and chill thoroughly before proceeding.
• Your can either deep fry the Crab Rangoon, which tastes wonderful, or you can bake them, which is much better for you, but not near as crispy.
• It is up to you.
• To fry, you really need a deep fryer, even if it's just a Fry Baby-- the bigger the better, though, unless you're willing to stand there frying 2-3 at a time and then wait for the oil to reheat before the next 2-3.
• Heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
• Drop a few pieces in the deep fryer, place the fryer basket or something on top to keep the puffs submerged, and fry until golden brown.
• Drain, place on a baking sheet lined with paper towels, and hold in a 220 degree F oven while you cook the rest of the puffs.
• Let the oil return to 375 degrees F before frying the next batch.
• To bake, spray a baking sheet with Pam or another nonstick vegetable spray, and arrange puffs on sheet, leaving as much space between them as possible.
• Spray the puffs generously on all sides with Pam, or better yet, if you have one of those pump-up oil sprayers, spray with real grease.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F, and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
• Regardless of how you cook them, serve hot with sauces of choice, sweet and sour, plain old soy sauce, and/or hot mustard, so you can take a taste with one sauce, then another, then another, and then back to the first.
• We have never tried these baked, but they are really good deep fried.
• Variations: Instead of doing the triangle thing, moisten the whole top side of the wonton wrapper, add filling, pull all four corners together, and squeeze the wrapper into a little purse shape, squeezing out most of the air before sealing the neck of the bag.
• OR Put the filling into a pastry bag with a 1/4-3/8" round tip, and pipe the filling onto the wonton wrappers.
• Roll into a fat cigarette shape, folding in the ends as you roll.
