CRISPY CRAB RANGOON
My husband loved the appetizers we ordered at a Chinese restaurant so much that I was determined to develop a crab rangoon recipe to make them at home. After two more trips to the restaurant to taste them again and about four home trials, I had them perfected. -Cathy Blankman, Warroad, Minnesota

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:

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.

Steps:
- In a sauté pan coated lightly with oil over high heat, sauté onions and lemongrass until soft, about 5 minutes. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and check for flavor. Add cranberries and sugar and deglaze with naturally brewed rice vinegar. Reduce by 75 percent or until liquid is absorbed. Check again for seasoning. (When cool, you can transfer to a container and store in fridge for up to two weeks.)
- In a large bowl, mix crab, cream cheese, cooled cranberry mixture and chives. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and check for flavor.
- Lay out 4 to 6 skins, lightly brush the edges with egg wash and place a small mound of the mix in the middle. Top with second skin and press firmly to seal. This is very important so the rangoons do not burst and leak. Repeat until filling is gone. Preheat a large sauté pan coated with 1/4-inch of oil over medium-high heat. Add as many rangoons as pan can hold in one layer. Shallow fry until golden brown, flip and fry other side until golden brown. Transfer rangoons to plate lined with paper towels. Arrange on platter and garnish with dollops of cranberry-mixture and reserved chives.
- Serve with [dim sum dipper and cranberry-teriyaki glaze .](/recipes/food/views/236607)

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.

INCREDIBLE CRAB RANGOON
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

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.

Tips:
- Use fresh lump crab meat. This will give your Rangoon a more delicate flavor and texture.
- Don't overfill the wonton wrappers. Too much filling will make them difficult to fold and seal.
- Be careful not to overcook the Rangoon. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still tender and juicy on the inside.
- Serve the Rangoon with your favorite dipping sauce. Sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or duck sauce are all popular choices.
