Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 clove garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat, drained and flaked
2 green onions with tops, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon light soy sauce
48 wonton wrappers

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.

INCREDIBLE CRAB RANGOON



Incredible Crab Rangoon image

My mom used to take my sister and me to a little Cantonese Chinese restaurant that served these. I loved them! These days, you can't even find a Cantonese restaurant, so I had to come up with my own version

Provided by Toby Jermain

Categories     Crab

Time 50m

Yield 24 packets, about

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces cream cheese (1-1/2 packages. Do not use reduced fat or non-fat)
1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat, drained and picked over to remove shell and cartilage pieces
3 -4 green onions, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, pressed
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon reduced sodium soy sauce
1 (48 count) package wonton wrappers (3 1/2 inch square , package is about 2" thick)
peanut oil or canola oil (for deep frying)
vegetable oil cooking spray (or equivalent) (optional)
soy sauce, as accompaniments
sweet and sour sauce, as accompaniments
hot Chinese chili paste or hot chili oil, as accompaniments
Chinese mustard, as accompaniments

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.

CRAB RANGOON EGG ROLLS RECIPE BY TASTY



Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls Recipe by Tasty image

Can't get enough crab rangoon wontons from your favorite take-out spot? Try these crab rangoon egg rolls filled with even more ooey-gooey cream cheese and crab filling, wrapped in a perfectly crispy wonton casing.

Provided by Aleya Zenieris

Categories     Appetizers

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
1 pinch kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
8 oz fresh lump crab meat, shredded
⅓ cup scallions, thinly sliced
12 square wonton wrappers
1 large egg, beaten
peanut oil, for frying
sweet and sour sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, a pinch of salt, soy sauce, and sugar until well combined. Gently fold in the crab meat and scallions until evenly incorporated.
  • Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond orientation. Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg. Scoop 3 tablespoons of the crab filling onto the center of the wrapper and flatten slightly with a spoon. Fold the sides of the wrapper inwards to cover the filling, then roll the wonton up, starting from the bottom and working upward to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Fill a large pot halfway with peanut oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 375˚F (190˚C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  • Working 3-4 at a time, fry the egg rolls in the hot oil until the wrappers are puffed and golden, about 2 minutes, flipping halfway to ensure even color. Transfer to the wire rack and sprinkle with salt.
  • Serve the egg rolls with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat will give your rangoon canapes the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen or canned crab meat, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Don't overfill the wonton wrappers: Overfilling the wonton wrappers will make them difficult to fold and seal. Plus, the filling is likely to burst out during frying.
  • Seal the wonton wrappers tightly: Make sure to seal the wonton wrappers tightly so that the filling doesn't leak out during frying. You can use a fork to crimp the edges of the wonton wrappers or use a wonton wrapper sealer.
  • Fry the rangoon canapes until they are golden brown: When frying the rangoon canapes, fry them until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy exterior.
  • Serve the rangoon canapes with a dipping sauce: Serve the rangoon canapes with a dipping sauce such as sweet and sour sauce, plum sauce, or soy sauce.

Conclusion:

Crab rangoon canapes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these delicious bites that will surely be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give crab rangoon canapes a try.
