Rhubarb Wontons Recipes

RHUBARB WONTONS

Steps:

• Place the chopped rhubarb into the container of a blender or food processor. Blend until liquefied. Pour into a large bowl and stir in the flour and sugar until smooth.
• Lay a few of the wonton wrappers out at a time on a clean surface. Keep a small bowl of water nearby for dipping your fingertips. Place a generous spoonful of the rhubarb mixture into the centers of the wrappers. Dip your finger in the water and brush onto the edges to moisten. Fold the wrapper into a triangle to seal, then moisten the inside of the two corners and press them against the top corner to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
• Heat the oil in a deep fryer or deep heavy skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry as many wontons as you can at one time without crowding. Turn as needed until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm.

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.
