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!

This is said to be the closest to the rangoon served at a certain Asian food chain. The rangoon can also be deep-fried instead of baked.

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.

CRISPY CRAB RANGOON
My husband loved the appetizers we ordered at a Chinese restaurant so much that I was determined to develop a crab rangoon recipe to make them at home. After two more trips to the restaurant to taste them again and about four home trials, I had them perfected. -Cathy Blankman, Warroad, Minnesota

Steps:
- Stir 8 ounces softened cream cheese, 4 chopped cooked thick-cut bacon slices, two 6-ounce cans crabmeat (picked over), 3 sliced scallions, 4 teaspoons soy sauce, a few dashes Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a large bowl.
- Place a teaspoonful of filling on a wonton wrapper, brush the edges with beaten egg, then fold in the corners of the wrapper to make a pyramid-like shape, pinching to seal; repeat to make more. Put on a baking sheet and freeze 1 hour.
- Working in batches, fry in 2 inches 350˚ F vegetable oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes; drain on paper towels. Serve with duck sauce.
Tips:
- To make the perfect wonton wrapper, use a wonton wrapper that is thin and pliable. If you are using fresh wonton wrappers, let them dry out slightly before using them. This will help prevent them from sticking together.
- When filling the wonton wrappers, be sure to not overfill them. Otherwise, they will be difficult to seal and may burst open during frying.
- To seal the wonton wrappers, wet the edges with water and then press them together firmly. Make sure that the edges are completely sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out.
- When frying the wontons, use a medium-high heat. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Serve the wontons immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces include sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, and chili sauce.
