CRAB RANGOON

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

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!

CRAB RANGOON SPRING ROLLS



Crab Rangoon Spring Rolls image

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.

Provided by Lee Thayer

Categories     Seafood Appetizers

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

FOR THE DIPPING SAUCE
250 g cream cheese, room temperature, 8 oz
1-2 Tbsp mayo, and as needed
1 Tbsp sriracha chili garlic sauce
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 spring onion, thinly sliced, white and green
FOR THE SPRING ROLLS
500 g imitation crabmeat, sticks, 1 lb
1 pkg spring roll wrappers
2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp corn starch
lard or cooking oil for frying

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.

CRAB RANGOON



Crab Rangoon image

This is said to be the closest to the rangoon served at a certain Asian food chain. The rangoon can also be deep-fried instead of baked.

Provided by Carol Belle

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Seafood     Crab

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 clove garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat, drained and flaked
2 green onions with tops, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon light soy sauce
48 wonton wrappers

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.

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.

Conclusion:

Crab rangoon spring rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your spring rolls are perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a fun and tasty appetizer, give crab rangoon spring rolls a try!
