Crab Rangoon

tgobbi's Note:

These are the crab rangoons I served the entire time I was in business. We made and served countless thousands of them.

• Total Time: 22 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 2 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 16 wontons

• 1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat
• 6 ounces cream cheese, room temp
• 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 dash white pepper
• wonton skins
• 1 beaten egg
• deep frying oil

Directions:

1. Pick over the crab to remove pieces of shell.
2. Use only about 1/2 t of filling for each wonton.
3. Seal edges with beaten egg.
4. (Make sure you squeeze out all the air or they'll pop open during frying and make a real mess)!
5. Deep fry at 350º until golden brown and crispy.
6. Blot on paper towels.

for you crab rangoon lovers these are great. I never made them before and they are really easy to make. I used a little more cream cheese the second time I made them as a matter of personal taste. This is a keeper recipe.----thanks

This did not taste like I expected it to. Had a very dominant cream cheese flavor, but it could also be that my "dash" of something may be very different from another persons. My boyfriend doesn't like rangoons, but he liked these. Something completely unrelated to the recipe is that the only wonton skins available to me fry up very thin, almost chip-like, and I have never ordered rangoons where the skins were that thin, so I was wondering what brand of won-tons you were using? I tried doubling the skins, but the inner skin would not cook properly when I did that. I would try this recipe again with less cream cheese, and more crabmeat, and more worcestershire sauce.

YUMMY!! Kids loved and so did us adults, one of the wayyyy better crab rangoon recipes out there! THANKS A BUNCH!!<br/>Update: made 3-26-2013: Still yummy but may almost double cream cheese next time and add a few splashes of milk, double worcestershire, and up the garlic. Made em quick and simple. Put the wrappers in muffin tins and fill with the mixture then bake at 350 for about 10-13 minutes. still yummy without all the grease! Crispier shell but also not as light and airy.
