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!
CRAB RANGOON SPRING ROLLS
To clear up any confusion, Crab Rangoon is not Chinese in origin, it as American. This recipe uses imitation crab which is left whole, not chopped, and simply rolled in spring roll wrappers. The dipping sauce in combination with the fried spring rolls = Crab Rangoon Spring Rolls.

Steps:
- 1. Add the cream cheese to a bowl and mash with a sturdy fork, add the Sriracha, spring onion, mayo, and soy sauce.
- 2. Mash with the fork, adding more mayo as needed to achieve the consistency you want. Set this aside.
- 3. The only prep work is unwrapping each crab stick. Unwrap the sticks from the entire package. I ended up with 38 sticks (a cat stole 1 and there was one left over, quick snack for me). You will use all the sticks, you won't use all the wrappers. Place the sticks in a bowl, and in a small bowl, mix together the water and cornstarch to make a slurry.
- 4. Two people is very handy to do this step, one to pull the the pastry apart and the other rolling the spring rolls. Spring roll wrappers are very thin pastry, and if doing this by yourself, place a damp towel on the unused sheets while you roll, if they start to dry, they will be hard to pull apart and will tear. This will actually go by rather quickly now.
- 5. Open the package of spring roll sheets. Carefully pull off one sheet and place smooth side down on a clean counter with one corner of the sheet facing you. Use twp fingers and dip into the slurry then rub your fingers the two sides of the pastry that are farthest from you. Place 3 crab sticks near the corner nearest you.
- 6. Fold the corner of the pastry onto the crab sticks.
- 7. Tightly roll the sticks up to just before you get to the widest part of the pastry.
- 8. Now fold the the left and right corners towards the middle.
- 9. Continue to roll, place on a plate. Repeat for as crab sticks you have. I made 12.
- 10. Heat a large pan with about 1/2 inch of lard or cooking oil. I do use lard that I render myself.
- 11. When hot but not smoking, fry the spring rolls for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown (shallow deep fry). Remove to paper towels to drain, continue frying, working in batches until all the spring rolls are fried. Repackage the unused spring roll wrappers and return to the freezer.
- 12. Serve and enjoy.

Steps:

Top with approximately 1/3 cup of the dressed rice noodles. Roll the edge closest to you over the filling, pulling tightly. Fold in the ends and continue to roll to seal.

Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat will give your spring rolls the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat, but be sure to thaw it thoroughly before using.
- Don't overfill the spring rolls. If you overfill the spring rolls, they will be difficult to roll and seal. Aim for about 2 tablespoons of filling per spring roll.
- Be careful not to overcook the spring rolls. Overcooked spring rolls will be tough and chewy. Cook them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve the spring rolls with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces for crab rangoon spring rolls include sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, and plum sauce.
