Bacon Crab Rangoon Recipes

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Place the crab meat, cream cheese, carrots, celery, garlic powder, worcestershire sauce and salt in a bowl and mix together to form the filling for crab rangoon.
• To wrap crab rangoon, take a square wonton wrapper and place two teaspoons filling in the center. Brush the edges with whisked egg and bring opposite ends of both sides together to form a pocket shape. Repeat till all the filling is consumed. While making one piece, make sure the other wrappers are covered with a damp cloth or they'll dry out.
• Heat a skillet of 4 inches oil to 350 degrees and fry the crab rangoons, a few at a time, till golden brown. This should take 3-4 minutes.
• Serve hot with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce.

Place 1 teaspoon of filling onto the center of each wonton skin. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wonton skin diagonally to form a triangle, pressing edges to seal. Moisten one of the bottom corners. Create a crown by pulling both bottom corners together and sealing. Arrange the rangoon on the baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray.

CAJUN CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a saucepan over medium heat until the bacon is limp, and is beginning to release its grease, about 3 minutes. Stir in the onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Scrape the onion mixture into a mixing bowl, and stir in the cream cheese, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dill, and crawfish tails. Gently fold in the crabmeat, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
• To make the wontons: Separate and place the wonton wrappers onto your work surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the seafood filling onto the center of each wrapper. Use your finger or a pastry brush to lightly moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with the beaten egg. Fold each corner of the wrapper over the filling, and press together over the center of the won ton. Press the edges together to seal.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Fry the won tons in the hot oil until they turn golden brown and float, about 2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Drain crab meat well. In a small mixing bowl stir together drained crab meat, cream cheese, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic paste.
• Working with a few wonton wrappers at a time, lay them out and scoop about ½ to 1 teaspoon of crab mixture just off center on the wrapper. The wrappers dry out so keep the remaining wrappers protected in a plastic bag or plastic wrap.
• Place a little dab of the cornstarch slurry on the corner closest to the filling. Fold the corner over the filling and press it down onto the wrapper on the other side of the filling. Press the adjacent edges down around the filling as well.
• Fold the two sides in toward the center, dabbing a bit more slurry to help seal the edges, forming an "open envelope" shape.
• Moisten the top "flap of the envelope" and fold it down, pressing gently to seal the whole packet together. Set aside, covered loosely with a piece of plastic wrap.
• Continue filling and folding the wonton wrappers until you have used all of the filling.
• Clip a deep fry or candy thermometer on to a 2 Quart stockpot or Dutch oven. Fill with frying oil and heat on high until oil temperature reaches 375°F.
• Drop crab rangoon packets into the oil, 5 to 6 at a time. They will sink to the bottom of the pot and should quickly form bubbles around them. Within about 30 seconds, the rangoons will pop up to the top of the oil and will become lightly browned and bubbly. Use a slotted spoon to remove the rangoons from the oil. Place them onto a plate lined with paper towels and continue frying the remaining rangoons.
• To make the rangoons extra crispy and delicious, you will fry them a second time just as you did the first. After the fried rangoons have set for about five minutes, place 5 to 6 at a time back into the frying oil. Fry for about 30 seconds until rangoons are golden brown. Remove to a separate plate lined with paper towels.
• Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

CRAB RANGOON RECIPE

Steps:

• Place wonton wrappers aside and combine all other filling ingredients in a medium bowl.
• Place 1 teaspoon of filling in center of each wonton.
• Moisten the edges of the wonton with a little bit of the egg/water mixture (i.e. egg wash). Fold in a triangle and press to seal- removing air from the inside. Use the egg wash like a glue as you assemble.
• Take the left and right sides of the triangle and pull them up, attaching them to the existing seal on the top. Then press along the edges to close any areas where the filling could be exposed to air. Here is an alternative folding method. Repeat, setting aside on a plate.
