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!

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.

REDUCED FAT CRAB RANGOON WITH PLUM SAUCE
A lower fat version of this appetizer that does not skimp on flavor. Filling can be made a day in advance and brought to room temperature before cooking. Baking with vegetable cooking spray makes this a healthier alternative to deep frying. To eliminate the sugar, skip the plum sauce and use mustard (Wasabi or Chinese) for dipping.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh crab meat. If you're using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
- Be sure to chop the crab meat finely. This will help it to mix well with the other ingredients.
- Don't overfill the wonton wrappers. Too much filling will make them difficult to seal and they may burst during frying.
- Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with oil to fry the crab rangoon. The oil should be at least 3 inches deep.
- Fry the crab rangoon in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the crab rangoon will not cook evenly.
- Drain the crab rangoon on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve the crab rangoon immediately with plum sauce.
