BAKED CRAB RANGOON WITH THAI GINGER-LIME DIPPING SAUCE
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.

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
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.

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.

These delicious little morsels are to die for! Creamy cheese and crab with lemon. Doesn't get much better than that! Great as an appetizer for any social event, but don't wait until then.

Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat that has been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
- Be sure to drain the crab meat well before using it. This will help to prevent the filling from being too watery.
- Don't overfill the wonton wrappers. This will make them difficult to fold and seal.
- Be careful not to fry the wontons too long. They should be golden brown and crispy, but not overcooked.
- Serve the crab rangoon with your favorite dipping sauce. The Thai ginger-lime dipping sauce is a great option, but you can also use sweet and sour sauce, honey mustard, or your favorite Asian dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Baked crab rangoon with Thai ginger-lime dipping sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The wontons are crispy and golden brown, and the filling is creamy and flavorful. The dipping sauce is the perfect complement to the crab rangoon, adding a bit of sweetness, sourness, and heat. Whether you're serving them at a party or enjoying them as a snack, these crab rangoon are sure to be a hit.
