Crab Rangoon And Duck Sauce Recipes

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Whisk together all Sweet and Sour Sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until slightly thickened. Set aside. (Sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.)
• Mix together all of the filling ingredients except the crab meat, then gently fold crab into cream cheese mixture.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (to lay assembled wontons on).
• Working on a flat, dry surface, lay out 2-4 wonton wrappers. Keep remaining wontons covered with plastic wrap or in a large freezer bag. Place one scant tablespoon wonton filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
• TO FOLD ALL FOUR CORNERS: Working with one wonton wrapper at a time, lightly brush the 4 edges of the wrapper with the water/cornstarch mixture. Bring the two opposite corners of the wonton together and pinch to seal. Next, pull the other two corners up so all the tips are touching. Press the tips together to seal, then work your way down to tightly seal the edges, pressing out excess air. It is okay if the edges don't evenly meet, as long as they are sealed closed. Place finished wontons on prepared surface and cover with a clean damp towel. Repeat with remaining wontons.
• TO FOLD INTO TRIANGLES (recommended if baking): Working with one wonton wrapper at a time, brush the top 2 sides of the wrapper with water. Bring the two opposite corners of the wonton together (2 dry, 2 wet) to form a triangle and enclose the filling, pinching edges of the wrapper together to firmly seal, pressing out any air. Place finished wontons on prepared surface and cover with a clean damp towel. Repeat with remaining wontons.
• Fill Dutch oven with 4 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees (medium-high). If you don't have a thermometer, make sure to test a spare wonton to ensure the oil isn't too hot.
• Gently add rangoons in batches so they don't overcrowd the pot, about 4-6. Fry until golden brown, either pressing down with a metal spyder to submerge or turning over once to cook evenly. Drain on paper towels and repeat with remaining rangoons.

CHEF JOHN'S CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, sesame oil, and cayenne pepper together with a fork until ingredients are blended thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, 1 or 2 hours.
• Keep wonton wrappers moist by covering with a damp paper towel. Place a small bowl of water nearby on the work surface. With a wet fingertip, moisten surface of wonton. Place 1 1/2 teaspoons of crab filling in center of wonton. Fold 2 opposite corners toward each other over the filling but without touching tips together yet. Fold up the other 2 corners. Working gently from the bottom, squeeze out any air bubbles; pinch together the 4 seams from the bottom up to create a modified pyramid (or "warhead") shape. Place on a dry surface. Continue with remaining wontons.
• Heat oil in deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Fry wontons in batches until golden brown and crispy, gently moving them around in the oil with a strainer to brown each surface, about 3 minutes. Let cool about a minute before eating. Serve with the dipping sauce.
• Whisk ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and sriracha sauce together in a bowl for the dipping sauce.

AIR FRYER CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• First, remove the crab meat from the package and chop it finely.
• Next, add the softened cream cheese, chopped lump crab meat, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder to a bowl and stir to combine.
• Remove the Won Ton wrappers from the package and lay them out onto your table or counter.
• Place about 1 Tbsp. of the cream cheese crab filling into the center of the Won Ton wrapper.
• Using a brush or your finger, gently wet the outer edges of the Won Ton wrapper with the water. Then pull up the opposite corners and pinch together. Once the corners are pinched together, gently seal the four edges with your fingers. Continue this process until you've used all of the cream cheese mixture.
• Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place 6-8 crab rangoon into the basket, keeping them spaced apart and not touching. Spritz the crab rangoon with cooking spray and air fry at 300 degrees F. for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crunchy.
• Repeat this process until they have all been cooked. Top with chopped chives and serve with duck sauce or sweet and sour sauce.

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Drain crab meat well. In a small mixing bowl stir together drained crab meat, cream cheese, green onions, Worchestire sauce, and garlic paste.
• Working with a few wonton wrappers at a time, lay them out and scoop about 1/2 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 AND DUCK SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Get the oil hot. While it is heating up place the cream cheese, diced crab, scallions, powdered sugar, salt, Worcestershire, and garlic in a bowl and combine
• 2. You want a large surface to have enough room to set up an assembly line to make the wontons
• 3. get a small ramekin with warm water. Lay out a few rows of the wontons.
• 4. Spoon some in the middle of the wontons, be careful not to over full or they will explode in the oil.
• 5. With your fingertips wet 1/2 of the wonton and fold the other half over and pinch to seal. Place on a cookie sheet and finish the assembly line.
• 6. Put them in the fryer until golden brown. Drain them on a wire rack with a paper towel underneath.

DUCK SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl
• 2. enjoy!
• 3. I put it in a large jar and it keeps in the fridge for months

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. In a food processor, combine the onion and jalapeño peppers. Pulse until finely diced, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the cream cheese, salt, black pepper and hot sauce, then pulse again until well-combined. Scrape down the sides as needed. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the crabmeat, and mix well with a spatula to blend. Set aside. Fill a small bowl with water. Set aside. Use a large round cookie or biscuit cutter to cut a circle out of one wonton wrapper. (If using round wrappers, skip this step.) Place 1 tablespoon crab mixture in the center. Dip your fingers in the bowl of water, then wet the edges of the wonton circle. Fold one side of the wonton over the crab, creating a half moon. Gently press the edges together, then use a fork to crimp them. Alternatively, Asian markets sell wonton or dumpling presses, which fold and seal them for you. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the dumplings 3 or 4 at a time and fry, using tongs to turn as needed, until lightly browned and crispy on all sides, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. After the rolls have drained several minutes, transfer them to a plate placed in the oven to keep warm. Serve with bowls of duck sauce for dipping. Makes 26 to 30 rolls.
