Yield 26-30 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 small red onion
2 tablespoons pickled jalapeño pepper slices
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon hot sauce, to taste
1 (1-pound) can claw crabmeat, picked over to remove any pieces of shell
30 (6-by-6-inch) wonton wrappers (or round ones, if available)
1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
Asian duck sauce (also called plum sauce)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. In a food processor, combine the onion and jalapeño peppers. Pulse until finely diced, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the cream cheese, salt, black pepper and hot sauce, then pulse again until well-combined. Scrape down the sides as needed. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the crabmeat, and mix well with a spatula to blend. Set aside. Fill a small bowl with water. Set aside. Use a large round cookie or biscuit cutter to cut a circle out of one wonton wrapper. (If using round wrappers, skip this step.) Place 1 tablespoon crab mixture in the center. Dip your fingers in the bowl of water, then wet the edges of the wonton circle. Fold one side of the wonton over the crab, creating a half moon. Gently press the edges together, then use a fork to crimp them. Alternatively, Asian markets sell wonton or dumpling presses, which fold and seal them for you. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the dumplings 3 or 4 at a time and fry, using tongs to turn as needed, until lightly browned and crispy on all sides, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. After the rolls have drained several minutes, transfer them to a plate placed in the oven to keep warm. Serve with bowls of duck sauce for dipping. Makes 26 to 30 rolls.

The crab rangoon was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less soy sauce next time.

Not a fan. The crab rangoon was too soft and the filling was bland.

I added some minced garlic and ginger to the filling for an extra boost of flavor. It was a great addition!

The crab rangoon was a bit too greasy for me. I think I'll try baking them next time.

I've tried many crab rangoon recipes, but this one is definitely the best. The filling is creamy and flavorful, and the wonton wrappers fry up perfectly crispy.

Absolutely delicious! The crab rangoon turned out crispy and flavorful. I added a bit more cream cheese for a richer taste and it was the perfect addition.
