Steps:
- Whisk together all Sweet and Sour Sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until slightly thickened. Set aside. (Sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.)
- Mix together all of the filling ingredients except the crab meat, then gently fold crab into cream cheese mixture.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (to lay assembled wontons on).
- Working on a flat, dry surface, lay out 2-4 wonton wrappers. Keep remaining wontons covered with plastic wrap or in a large freezer bag. Place one scant tablespoon wonton filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
- TO FOLD ALL FOUR CORNERS: Working with one wonton wrapper at a time, lightly brush the 4 edges of the wrapper with the water/cornstarch mixture. Bring the two opposite corners of the wonton together and pinch to seal. Next, pull the other two corners up so all the tips are touching. Press the tips together to seal, then work your way down to tightly seal the edges, pressing out excess air. It is okay if the edges don't evenly meet, as long as they are sealed closed. Place finished wontons on prepared surface and cover with a clean damp towel. Repeat with remaining wontons.
- TO FOLD INTO TRIANGLES (recommended if baking): Working with one wonton wrapper at a time, brush the top 2 sides of the wrapper with water. Bring the two opposite corners of the wonton together (2 dry, 2 wet) to form a triangle and enclose the filling, pinching edges of the wrapper together to firmly seal, pressing out any air. Place finished wontons on prepared surface and cover with a clean damp towel. Repeat with remaining wontons.
- Fill Dutch oven with 4 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees (medium-high). If you don't have a thermometer, make sure to test a spare wonton to ensure the oil isn't too hot.
- Gently add rangoons in batches so they don't overcrowd the pot, about 4-6. Fry until golden brown, either pressing down with a metal spyder to submerge or turning over once to cook evenly. Drain on paper towels and repeat with remaining rangoons.

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.

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!

Tips:
- For the crab rangoon filling, use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you're using canned crab meat, be sure to drain it well and flake it before using.
- To make the crab rangoon wrappers, use wonton wrappers or spring roll wrappers. If you're using wonton wrappers, cut them into squares. If you're using spring roll wrappers, cut them into triangles.
- When filling the crab rangoon, be sure to not overfill them. Too much filling will make them difficult to seal and they may burst open during frying.
- To fry the crab rangoon, use a deep fryer or a large pot filled with oil. Heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the crab rangoon. Fry them in batches until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the crab rangoon immediately with duck sauce or sweet and sour sauce.
Conclusion:
Crab rangoon is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy crab filling and crispy wonton wrapper, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. Serve it with duck sauce or sweet and sour sauce for a complete and satisfying meal.
