CRAB RANGOON (CRAB & CREAM CHEESE FILLED WONTONS)

Steps:

• Preheat 1 inch of oil to 325°F over medium heat.
• In a small bowl, gently combine crab meat, cream cheese, green onion, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (if using), and garlic powder.

SWEET CHEESE WONTONS

Steps:

• 1. Mix the cream cheese and the sugar together in a bowl until nice and creamy.
• 2. Next, with damp fingers from the water, place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. The dampness will make them easier to get apart. Wonton wrappers can be found in the refrigerated produce section of the grocery store.
• 3. Spoon a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture right into the center of the wrapper.
• 4. Get your index finger wet, and brush the edges of the wrapper with the water - this will help the wrapper stay closed. Fold the wrapper into a triangle shape.
• 5. Heat 1 1/2 inches of cooking oil (I use canola) in a frying pan or wok over medium heat until a drop of water dropped in sizzles.
• 6. Place about six wontons into the oil (depending on the size of your pan) and let them cook for about 1 1/2-2 minutes each side, until they are golden brown. Place them on a paper towel to cool. Repeat for the rest of the wontons.
• 7. Let the wontons cool and serve!

CRAB AND CREAM CHEESE WONTONS (SWEET!)

Steps:

• Chop the crab and the onion into tiny pieces.
• Soak the onion in cold water. (The onion adds the tangy flavor. I only used the green and soaked it for a long time. If you like more onion, use the white and soak for less time).
• (Food processor may be used for next steps.)
• Add sugar to cream cheese and mix well.
• Add crab, mix well.
• Add onion, mix well.
• Using a butter knife, take some of the mixture and put into the middle of each wrapper. Bring sites together so it looks like a X from above. (the mixture holds it shut. It's important that you DO NOT seal the wrappers. The oil getting inside is what gives it it's texture.).
• Deep-Fry on 375ºF for 1-2 minutes - depending on how dark you want them. Even if they look soft when you take them out, they continue to cook after removed. Overcooking will burn the wrappers.
• (If cheese escapes a little - this is normal. If it happens every time and becomes bothersome, then just close the corners together more so it's self-sealed better. The X shape is basic, but you can squish them together more if needed).
• Place on paper towels to drain oil.
• Serving depends on how much you use in each wrapper. Time depends on how quick you are.
