CRAB RANGOON

Time 55m

Yield 36 wontons

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup pineapple or orange juice
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup maraschino cherry syrup (from the jar)
1/4 cup ketchup
Pinch kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
8 ounces lump crab meat
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 green onions, fine dice
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
36 wonton wrappers
1 large egg, beaten
Vegetable oil, for frying

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!

CHEF JOHN'S CRAB RANGOON



Chef John's Crab Rangoon image

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.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces crab meat, drained well
⅓ cup chopped green onions
1 clove crushed garlic
1 teaspoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon fish sauce
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon sesame oil
1 pinch cayenne pepper
60 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers
Canola oil for frying
1 cup ketchup
¼ cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce, or to taste

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.

Time 50m

Yield 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 lb cream cheese
1/2 lb crabmeat (fresh if available)
2 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 large sweet onion, grated fine

Steps:

  • Rangoons: Beat room temperature cream cheese until smooth.
  • Stir in crab meat, egg yolks, S& P& spice.
  • Place the wonton wrapper with a corner pointing towards you.
  • Put one teaspoon of the filling in the center of the bottom half of the wrapper.
  • Moisten lower two edges with the beaten egg.
  • Bring points so they touch& seal edges to form a triangle.
  • Brush a little egg on the edges.
  • Pinch edges to seal and give a slight twist.
  • Sauce: Combine oil, ketchup, vinegar, honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl.
  • Add grated onion and blend well.
  • Heat wok and add oil for deep-frying.
  • When oil is ready (temperature 360 - 375 degrees), carefully slide in the Crab Rangoon, taking care not to overcrowd the wok.
  • Deep-fry until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes, turning once.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality crab meat: Fresh or frozen crab meat works best. Avoid using canned crab meat, as it can be watery and have a bland flavor.
  • Don't overfill the wonton wrappers: Overfilling can make the crab rangoon difficult to fold and seal, and it can also cause them to burst while frying.
  • Fry the crab rangoon in hot oil: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Serve the crab rangoon with a dipping sauce: A classic dipping sauce for crab rangoon is made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.

Conclusion:

Crab rangoon is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With a crispy wonton wrapper and a creamy crab filling, these little bites are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give crab rangoon a try!
