Steps:
- Whisk together all Sweet and Sour Sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until slightly thickened. Set aside. (Sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.)
- Mix together all of the filling ingredients except the crab meat, then gently fold crab into cream cheese mixture.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (to lay assembled wontons on).
- Working on a flat, dry surface, lay out 2-4 wonton wrappers. Keep remaining wontons covered with plastic wrap or in a large freezer bag. Place one scant tablespoon wonton filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
- TO FOLD ALL FOUR CORNERS: Working with one wonton wrapper at a time, lightly brush the 4 edges of the wrapper with the water/cornstarch mixture. Bring the two opposite corners of the wonton together and pinch to seal. Next, pull the other two corners up so all the tips are touching. Press the tips together to seal, then work your way down to tightly seal the edges, pressing out excess air. It is okay if the edges don't evenly meet, as long as they are sealed closed. Place finished wontons on prepared surface and cover with a clean damp towel. Repeat with remaining wontons.
- TO FOLD INTO TRIANGLES (recommended if baking): Working with one wonton wrapper at a time, brush the top 2 sides of the wrapper with water. Bring the two opposite corners of the wonton together (2 dry, 2 wet) to form a triangle and enclose the filling, pinching edges of the wrapper together to firmly seal, pressing out any air. Place finished wontons on prepared surface and cover with a clean damp towel. Repeat with remaining wontons.
- Fill Dutch oven with 4 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees (medium-high). If you don't have a thermometer, make sure to test a spare wonton to ensure the oil isn't too hot.
- Gently add rangoons in batches so they don't overcrowd the pot, about 4-6. Fry until golden brown, either pressing down with a metal spyder to submerge or turning over once to cook evenly. Drain on paper towels and repeat with remaining rangoons.
CHEF JOHN'S CRAB RANGOON
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.

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.

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.
