Crab Rangoon Soup Recipes

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Remove the cream cheese from its packaging, set it in a large bowl and let it soften at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
• Make the dipping sauce, if desired: Stir the ketchup, sugar and rice vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring it just to a boil, whisking until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool completely.
• Add the scallions, lemon zest, sugar and salt to the softened cream cheese. Using clean hands, gently flake the crab meat into a separate bowl; pick out any shell fragments. Using a silicone spatula, mix the shredded crab into the cream cheese mixture until evenly incorporated.
• Unwrap the wonton wrappers from their packaging and separate them from one another. (This will speed up the process when filling them.) Stack them loosely and completely cover with a damp paper towel to keep them moist. Place 1 cup water in a nearby bowl.
• Place a wrapper on a flat surface, rotated in a diamond position. Spoon 2 to 3 teaspoons of the filling into its center, using another small spoon to assist scraping it off the teaspoon. Dip your index finger into the water, then use it to moisten the entire edge of the wrapper. To make a simple rangoon, fold the wrapper into a triangle by pulling one corner to its opposite corner, pressing out any air and sealing the wonton shut. To make a star-shaped rangoon, lift the left and right corners underneath between your index fingers and thumbs, and lift them up toward the center, pinching your index fingers and thumbs along the seams to fold each tip as you do it, so that a four-pointed star shape forms. Squeeze out any air, then seal the wrapper along the other two tips so the filling is entirely encased.
• Place the sealed rangoon on a sheet pan or flat surface dusted with flour as you repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. Freeze them for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 weeks in an airtight container) before cooking to ensure that they leak less during frying.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven to 350 degrees. (The temperature will fluctuate when frying, but make sure the oil doesn't smoke or dip below 300 degrees.) Keep the oil over a medium flame or half power on an electric range to help maintain the temperature. Working in batches, fry the rangoons until golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• Let cool a few minutes before enjoying, as they will be lava-hot out of the fryer. Enjoy with the optional dipping sauce or another sauce of your choice.

AIR FRYER CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese, crab meat, scallions, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl; stir until evenly combined.
• Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray. Fill a small bowl with warm water.
• Place 12 wonton wrappers on a clean work surface. Spoon 1 teaspoon of cream cheese mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper. Dip index finger into the warm water and wet around the sides of each wonton wrapper. Crimp wrapper corners upwards to meet in the center to form dumplings.
• Place dumplings in the prepared basket and spray the tops with cooking spray.
• Cook dumplings until desired crispness, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• While first batch is cooking, assemble remaining dumplings with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Serve with sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• Mix all the cream cheese, crab meat, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Stir to blend well. Place about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling in the middle of a wonton wrapper. Dab some water on the outer edges of the wonton wrapper and fold the two ends of the wrapper together. Fold the other two ends to make a tiny parcel pictured below. Pinch to seal tight and make sure that there is no leakage.
• Heat up a pot of oil for deep-frying and fry the crab rangoon until golden brown. Dish out with a strainer or slotted spoon, draining the excess oil by laying the crab rangoon on a dish lined with paper towels. Let the crab rangoon cools down a bit before serving them with sweet and sour sauce.

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.

Steps:

• For the sweet and sour sauce: Add the sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar, cherry syrup, ketchup and salt to a 3-quart saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Combine the cornstarch with 1/4 cup water in a bowl and mix well; add this to the sugar mixture. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• For the wontons: Combine the crab, cream cheese, green onions, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Mix well to combine; I found using your hands can sometimes be the best way. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean work surface. Place 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrappers with a little of the egg wash, then fold each into a triangle. Press to seal the wontons, squeezing out any trapped air; this will ensure that the wontons stay closed during frying.
• Heat 2 inches oil in a deep-fryer or a Dutch oven to 375 degrees F. Fry a few wontons at a time until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. When you add the wontons to the oil, the temperature will drop about 10 degrees. Try to keep the temperature maintained at 360 degrees F. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate or sheet pan fitted with a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining wontons. Serve with the sweet and sour sauce and enjoy!

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Combine garlic, cream cheese, crab, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce in a bowl. To prevent wonton skins from drying, prepare only 1 or 2 rangoon at a time. 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.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

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.

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.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, crab meat, scallions, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until combined.
• If your air fryer requires it, preheat it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray the basket with cooking spray. Pour warm water into a small bowl.
• Place 12 of the wonton wrappers on a dry, clean work surface. Spoon 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of each wrapper.
• Dip your index finger into the warm water and wet the borders of the wonton wrapper. Take 2 opposite corners and bring them towards each other to the middle.
• Bring the other two opposite corners towards each other and push out as much excess air as you can. Pinch the 4 edges together, sealing in the filling. Repeat the step for the rest of the wrappers.
• Arrange the dumplings in a single layer, with an inch of space in between, into the bottom of the greased basket. Spray the tops of the dumplings with cooking spray.
• Air fry the dumplings for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket midway through. The wrappers should be golden brown and crispy. Transfer the dumplings onto a plate lined with paper towels.
• Meanwhile, work on the remaining 12 wrappers, following the instructions above.
• Serve with sweet chili sauce. Enjoy!
