DEB'S CRAB RANGOON

This deep-fried appetizer is a perennial party favorite. Also great with any Asian Dish.

Provided by Debbie Gurley

Categories     Other Snacks

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 oz cream cheese, softened at room temp
8 oz fresh crab meat or canned crab meat, drained and flaked
1/2 tsp lea & perrins worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp soy sauce
6 Tbsp crushed pineapple
1 pkg won ton wrappers
1 small bowl water to be used for sealing the wrapper
oil for deep-frying, as needed

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the cream cheese, pineapple and crab meat. Mix in the remaining filling ingredients (up to the wonton wrappers) one at a time.
  • 2. On a flat surface, lay out a won ton wrapper in front of you so that it forms 2 triangles (not a square). Wet the edges of the won ton.
  • 3. Add 1 teaspoon of filling to the middle, and spread it out toward the left and right points of the wrapper so that it forms a log or rectangular shape (otherwise the wrapper may break in the middle during deep-frying).
  • 4. Fold over the edges of the wrapper to make a triangle. Wet the edges with water and press together with fork to seal.
  • 5. Keep the completed Crab Rangoon covered with a damp towel or paper towel to keep them from drying out while preparing the remainder.
  • 6. Heat wok and add oil for deep-frying. When oil is ready (the temperature should be between 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. Serve hot with Sweet and Sour Sauce or Chinese Hot Mustard.

CRAB RANGOON



Crab Rangoon image

As an American-born Asian kid, I grew up eating items that were created in the States but are authentic in flavors. The Chinese have been here since the 1800s and if dishes were created by Asians in America I think they are totally authentic. Dishes like orange chicken, California roll, spicy tuna and crab rangoon have now made their way back to the Asian countries from which their native creators originated.

Time 30m

Yield 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces (227 g) lump crabmeat or snow crabmeat
16 ounces (454 g) cream cheese, at room temperature
2 scallions (whites only), very finely chopped
2 tablespoons (5 g) finely chopped tarragon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
24 wonton skins (square)
1 egg, slightly beaten, for sealing
2 quarts (1.9 L) vegetable oil, for frying
Sweet chili or plum sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Press out as much liquid as possible from the crabmeat you are using. Any excess moisture will soak through the wonton skins. In a medium bowl, combine the crab, cream cheese, scallions, tarragon, salt and pepper either with your hands or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
  • Take a wonton skin, place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper.
  • With a finger dipped in egg, moisten the 2 adjacent sides; fold over the opposing corner to make a triangle. (You have some choices with shape. You can make a purse, tortellini or traditional triangle wontons.)
  • Place the completed ones on a tray. Uncooked, rangoons can be wrapped and kept frozen for 1 to 2 weeks and dropped into the fryer frozen.
  • Heat oil in a 4- or 5-quart (3.8- or 4.7-L) Dutch oven or pot until the oil reaches 360 degrees F (182 degrees C). Fry in small batches until golden about 2 minutes on each side and drain on a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. I like to serve these with sweet chili or plum sauce.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh crab meat. If you're using frozen crab meat, be sure to thaw it completely before using.

  • Be careful not to overcook the wontons. They should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy.
