Best 2 Imitation Crabmeat Rangoon Recipes

NO FRY CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet, and set aside.
• Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, onion, garlic powder, and sugar in a bowl, and beat until soft and well mixed. Lightly stir in the flaked imitation crab meat.
• Fill a bowl with lukewarm water. Remove a wonton wrapper from the stack, and cover the stack with a damp paper towel to keep the wrappers from drying out. With your finger, wet two adjoining edges of the wrapper with water, and place about 2 teaspoons of filling in the center. Fold the wrapper into a triangle shape, pressing out all the air and sealing the edges well. Place the filled wonton on the prepared baking sheet while you finish filling and folding the wontons.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, until the wonton edges turn brown and crisp. Serve immediately.

BAKED CRAB RANGOON (USING IMITATION CRAB)

Steps:

• In a food processor, mix all ingredients, except the wontons and the egg.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of wonton wrappers. Moisten wrapper edges with a small amount of egg, fold over the mixture and pinch to seal.
• Bake the wontons for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Serve with plum sauce or sweet and sour sauce for dipping.
• Notes:.
• I have found wonton wrappers at both Safeway and Walmart, but I prefer the ones from Safeway. They are about the same price, and the Safeway ones are thinner and taste better (in my opinion).
• You can also make these ahead and freeze them: Make the filling and seal the wontons. Place them (unbaked) on a baking sheet and stick the sheet in the freezer, until the wontons are frozen. Take the wontons off the baking sheet and put them in a Ziploc freezer bag (this way they won't stick together). When ready to bake, take as many as you need from the freezer, lightly grease a baking sheet, and bake as directed.
