HOW TO MAKE CRAB RANGOON RECIPES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Stir in onions, crab and garlic. , Place about 1-1/2 teaspoons in the center of a wonton wrapper. (Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Moisten edges with water; fold opposite corners over filling and press to seal. Repeat., In an electric skillet, heat 1 in. of oil to 375°. Fry wontons, in batches, until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sweet-and-sour sauce.

Steps:

• Make the duck sauce: in a small bowl, mix apricot preserves, vinegar, soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons hot water until sauce is smooth. Set aside. In a large bowl, stir to combine the cream cheese, crab meat, chives, soy sauce, and garlic powder until it forms a homogenous mixture. In a small bowl, whisk egg and set aside. To form the wontons, place about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper. Using your finger or a small brush, lightly rub the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg (this will help seal the wontons.) Bring all 4 corners together above the wrapper and pinch to seal, moving your finger down along the edges forming an “X” shape, with the corners meeting in the center. Set aside on a large plate or sheet tray. Repeat until you have used all of the crab mixture. Fill a large heavy-bottomed pot or dutch oven with about 3 to 4 inches of oil and heat to 350°. Working in batches of 4 to 5, add your rangoon to the oil and fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the wontons to a paper towel lined plate to drain while you fry the remaining rangoon. Serve immediately with homemade or store bought duck sauce.
