CRAB RANGOON (OR REALLY, KRAB RANGOON)



Crab Rangoon (Or Really, Krab Rangoon) image

In spite of normally lacking any perceptible quantity of the star ingredient, Crab Rangoon are a family favorite whenever we go to an Asian restaurant. We made this recipe on a recent "homemade Chinese" dinner night and I decided to showcase the purported main ingredient...until all we could find at the grocery store was Krab... I think you'll agree that the flavor of the considerable addition of Krab is worth the effort of making these at home. Real crab would have been a blissful extravagance. Unless you are feeding an army, you will have enough prepared Rangoon to freeze some for later use.

Time 1h30m

Yield 40 individual rangoon

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces crabmeat (or Krabmeat, if that's what you can get)
8 ounces cream cheese (one standard package)
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 green onions, sliced thin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
40 wonton wrappers, square (1 package, from the produce section of the grocery store)
1 -2 liter frying oil (peanut or canola)

Steps:

  • Beat together the cream cheese, garlic powder, and sugar until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the sour cream, c(K)rab, soy sauce, and sliced green onions. Beat until combined.
  • Prepare a work space - you will need a surface that can be dried intermittently to fill the wrappers , a cookie sheet (and probably backup sheets) lined with wax paper to receive the filled wrappers, a small dish of water to moisten the wrappers so that they seal after being filled, and a towel to keep your workspace clean and dry. You will also need a paper towel-lined cookie sheet to place the fried rangoon on to drain after frying.
  • Fill the wrappers by laying out six individual wrappers onto your prepared work surface. Place about a teaspoon of filling into the middle of each wrapper. Moisten the outside edges of the wrapper with water and then pinch opposite sides of the wrapper together above the filling. Alternately, you could fold the wrapper into triangles. Secure the seams of the wrapper by pressing the moistened edges together. Place onto the wax paper-lined cookie sheet in a single layer.
  • Heat the oil to 350 Farenheit in a heavy bottomed pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Regardless of the width of the pan you should have 1" to 2" of oil in the bottom at all times. When the oil has reached the proper temperature, carefully drop individual rangoon into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the rangoon - there should only be a single "layer" in the oil at a given time.
  • Using a metal utensil (a slotted spoon or metal spider basket), turn the rangoon when they are browned on one side. When they are golden brown and delicious on both sides, remove the cooked rangoon to a paper towel-lined cookie sheet to drain and cool.
  • If you are frying a portion of the rangoon and freezing the remainder for later, you will have best results if you place a single layer of the raw, filled rangoon on the wax paper-lined cookie sheet, ensuring that they aren't touching one another. Freeze the rangoon solid on the sheet and then put into a freezer bag, label, and return to the freezer. Then, whenever the urge to fry some up strikes you can take just the number you want from the freezer bag and leave the rest for later. Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 clove garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat, drained and flaked

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.

Categories     Cheese Appetizers

Time 1h20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (8 ounce) package imitation crabmeat, chopped
¼ cup sliced green onions
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons water
1 ¾ cups panko bread crumbs
2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper so the paper hangs over the sides of the pan.
  • Stir together cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, crabmeat, green onions, powdered sugar, salt, and garlic powder in a bowl until combined. Transfer to the prepared pan, spreading to an even layer. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Lift cream cheese mixture from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut the frozen block in half, then cut each half crosswise into 8 sticks (you will have sixteen 4x1-inch sticks.)
  • Put flour in a shallow dish. Beat eggs and water together in a second shallow dish. Put panko in a third shallow dish.
  • Dredge each cream cheese stick in flour; shake off excess. Dip into egg mixture, then lift up so excess egg drips back into the bowl. Press into panko to coat both sides. Place the breaded sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
  • Add 1 1/2 inches of oil to a medium saucepan. Heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Fry 3 or 4 sticks at a time until golden brown, about 1 minute. (Keep uncooked sticks in freezer until ready to fry.)
  • Drain fried sticks on paper towels, then transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven. Repeat to fry remaining sticks.

Tips for Making Crab Rangoon:

  • Use fresh or frozen crabmeat. If using frozen crabmeat, thaw it completely before using.
  • Shred the crabmeat finely. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the filling.
  • Use a combination of cream cheese and mayonnaise. This will make the filling creamy and flavorful.
  • Add some chopped green onion and garlic for extra flavor.
  • Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Use wonton wrappers that are at room temperature. This will make them easier to fold.
  • Wet the edges of the wonton wrappers with water before sealing them. This will help them stick together.
  • Fry the crab rangoon until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the crab rangoon with your favorite dipping sauce.
