Make It Yourself- Crab Rangoon-ci
From keni 15 years ago
- 20 minutes to make
- Serves 8
This is just my simple version of classic crab rangoon....without the sugar! Canned crab is okay for this, but I suggest using the "premium" style. Personally, I use the "tub" of fresh sold at the seafood counter. Read more Cook time includes cooking of the entire batch. See less
Ingredients
- 12-16oz cream cheese, softened(depending on how "crabby" you want them) shopping list
- 8oz crab, cooked, picked, and flaked shopping list
- 4 green onions, chopped shopping list
- 1T worcestershire sauce shopping list
- juice from 1/2 lemon shopping list
- dash of hot sauce(ie Rooster or Tabasco) shopping list
- fresh ground black pepper shopping list
- 24-32 wonton wrappers shopping list
- peanut oil for frying shopping list
How to make it
- Mix medium bowl mix cream cheese and crab until well combined.
- Add green onions, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce and black pepper. Fold to combine all ingredients.
- Heat oil in cast iron dutch oven, wok, or deep fryer to 350.
- On smooth surface, lay wonton wrappers one at a time.
- Spoon about 1T onto middle of each wrapper.
- With fingertip or small pastry brush, add small amount of water to edges of wrapper.
- Bring corners up to meet in the middle, pressing all edges together to form seal.
- **alternatively, place wrapper diagonal, dropping mixture in middle, and still moistening edges, but fold over to form triangle. (See pics for both ways of making each rangoon)
- Carefully drop a few at a time into hot oil.
- Let cook, keeping oil temperature between 350-375 until completely browned. About 3 minutes.
- Continue with remaining wontons.
