This version of my favorite Chinese appetizer is baked instead of fried, making them lower in fat. They are absolutely delicious! I don't really like crab, but I devour these.

Time 45m

Yield 48 rangoon

Number Of Ingredients 8

  • Place 1 teaspoon filling in center of each wonton skin.
  • Moisten edges with water.
  • Fold in half to form triangle, pressing edges to seal.
  • Pull bottom corners down and overlap slight; moisten one corner and press to seal. (Usually there is a diagram on the wonton package. I think they look like little kerchiefs.).

BAKED CRAB RANGOON WITH THAI GINGER-LIME DIPPING SAUCE



Baked Crab Rangoon With Thai Ginger-Lime Dipping Sauce image

This recipe is just a bit different than the many other Baked Crab Rangoon appetizers already posted to the Recipezaar database, and I sure hope you enjoy this dish as much as we do. You can use the Thai Ginger-Lime Dipping Sauce included with this recipe, or you can use your own favorite Asian dippping sauce if you like. Even something as simple as a sweet and sour sauce, Asian plum sauce, or a hot sweet mustard also work well as a dipping sauce for these Baked Crab Rangoons.

Time 33m

Yield 12 appetizers, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 wonton wrappers
6 ounces white crab meat, drained
4 ounces low-fat cream cheese, softened
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon minced onion
2 teaspoons teriyaki sauce
1 teaspoon white pepper
3 tablespoons peanuts, finely ground
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon of fresh mint, chopped
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger (I prefer only 1 tsp)
1 red Thai chile, minced (very hot, so feel free to reduce or omit if you like)

Steps:

  • Prehat the oven to 350°. Lightly spray the bottom of the cups of a muffin tin with a non-stick cooking spray.
  • FILLING - Add the crab meat, cream cheese, chopped green onion, minced onion, teriyaki sauce and white pepper to a small mixing bowl and mix until well blended.
  • Place the wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Add spoonfuls of the crab filling to the center of each wonton wrapper. Take two opposite tips of a wonton wrapper, and bring the tips to meet over the center of the filling. Take the other two opposite tips of the wonton wrapper and bring them to the center. Gently pinch the four tips together. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers.
  • Lift each Crab Rangoon appetizer gently and place one into each of the cups of the coated muffin tin. Bake in a 350° oven for 16-18 minutes or until the tips of the wonton wrappers are lightly browned.
  • DIPPING SAUCE - In the meantime, add all the dipping sauce ingredients to a small bowl and mix until well blended. If you want a thinner sauce, you can place all the dipping sauce ingredients in a food processor and puree or blend for 10 to 20 seconds.
  • When the appetizers are done, remove the pan from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 1 minute. Then carefully lift each baked rangoon and place on a platter.
  • Serve (either warm or at room temperature) with the Thai Ginger-Lime Dipping Sauce.

CRAB RANGOON



Crab Rangoon image

The irresistible combo of crispy, fried egg noodle encasing molten cream cheese has made this snack a finger food mainstay. Though it has roots in mid-century Polynesian-style bars and restaurants, the imitation crab stick-filled fried wonton has been adopted by many American Chinese menus. The chef-consultant Eric Ehler designed the menu at Lazy Susan, a Chinese takeout spot in San Francisco; for his version of the classic dish, he uses Dungeness crab meat and adds scallions and lemon zest for color. As a child, Mr. Ehler loved to dip the fried wontons in egg drop soup, or use them as a scoop for rice.

Time 1h

Yield 42 to 50 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese
3 tablespoons sliced scallion greens
1/2 lemon, zested
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups/7.5 ounces lump crab meat (preferably Dungeness, or substitute with imitation crab)
1 (12-ounce) package yellow square (about 3 1/2-inch) wonton wrappers (about 50)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
3 quarts rice bran or canola oil
1/2 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar

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.

CHEF JOHN'S CRAB RANGOON



Chef John's Crab Rangoon image

While not 'authentic,' these crispy crab and cream cheese wontons are one of the most addictive, delicious, and crowd-pleasing appetizers ever created. That is, if the filling has enough crab in it. I'm using a 1 to 1 ratio of crab to cream cheese.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Wraps and Rolls

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces crab meat, drained well
⅓ cup chopped green onions
1 clove crushed garlic
1 teaspoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon fish sauce
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon sesame oil
1 pinch cayenne pepper
60 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers
Canola oil for frying
1 cup ketchup
¼ cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce, or to taste

Steps:

  • Mix cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, sesame oil, and cayenne pepper together with a fork until ingredients are blended thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, 1 or 2 hours.
  • Keep wonton wrappers moist by covering with a damp paper towel. Place a small bowl of water nearby on the work surface. With a wet fingertip, moisten surface of wonton. Place 1 1/2 teaspoons of crab filling in center of wonton. Fold 2 opposite corners toward each other over the filling but without touching tips together yet. Fold up the other 2 corners. Working gently from the bottom, squeeze out any air bubbles; pinch together the 4 seams from the bottom up to create a modified pyramid (or "warhead") shape. Place on a dry surface. Continue with remaining wontons.
  • Heat oil in deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Fry wontons in batches until golden brown and crispy, gently moving them around in the oil with a strainer to brown each surface, about 3 minutes. Let cool about a minute before eating. Serve with the dipping sauce.
  • Whisk ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and sriracha sauce together in a bowl for the dipping sauce.
