Crab Rangoon With a Simple Plum Sauce image

We love ordering crab rangoon for take-out and with this recipe, we can make them at home. Once fried, these are crisp outside and the filling is creamy and full of real crab meat chunks.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pkg small square wontons
1 pkg cream cheese, softened (8 oz)
1 pkg dry garlic & herb salad dressing
8 oz lump crab meat
1 large egg
PLUM SAUCE
8 oz plum jam (about 2/3 cup)
1/4 c soy sauce
3 Tbsp orange juice
1 tsp orange zest

Steps:

  • 1. In a small pot take the soy sauce, orange juice, and plum jam and simmer until completely melted. Add the orange zest and set it aside.
  • 2. Blend cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the lump crab meat and 1 Tbsp of dry salad dressing mix. Blend well. Set to the side.
  • 3. Take a wonton and place one teaspoon of filling in the center.
  • 4. In a small bowl make the egg wash by beating together 1 egg and 3 Tbsp water. Wet the edges of the wonton with the egg wash mixture. Fold over like a triangle and seal. Repeat until you have enough to fry (10-15). Repeat this action until you are out of filling.
  • 5. Heat oil, to 350 - 375 degrees, in a deep-fryer or deep skillet. Drop a few wontons into oil one at a time and fry until golden brown, turning once.
  • 6. Take the cooked Rangoon and place it on napkins to remove the excess oil.
  • 7. Serve with the plum sauce.

I love that this recipe uses wonton wrappers instead of egg roll wrappers. It makes the Crab Rangoons so much easier to fold.
