IS THERE CRAB IN CRAB RANGOON RECIPES

Steps:

• Press out as much liquid as possible from any crab meat you are using. Any excess moisture will soak through the wonton skins. In a medium bowl combine the crab, cream cheese, green onion, tarragon, salt and pepper either with your hands or a mixer with a paddle attachment.
• Take a wonton skin, place 1 teaspoon of 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°F (182°C). Fry in small batches until golden about 2 minutes on each side and drain on a wire rack over a cookie sheet. I like to serve these with sweet chili or plum sauce.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, combine all ingredients except wonton skins and butter.
• Mix until well blended.
• Place 1 teaspoon filling in center of each wonton skin.
• Moisten edges with water.
• Fold in half to form triangle, pressing edges to seal.
• Pull bottom corners down and overlap slight; moisten one corner and press to seal. (Usually there is a diagram on the wonton package. I think they look like little kerchiefs.).
• Arrange on baking sheet that has been coated with vegetable spray.
• Brush with melted butter.
• Bake in 425º oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Serve hot with desired sauce.
• NOTE: I like hoisin or plum sauce and sweet and sour -- even jalapeno pepper jelly!
• NOTE: These can also be fried, if prefer.
