Crab rangoon is another Chinese nibbly that is a tasty treat and can be made easily at home. It is a little healthier than the deep-fried dish. The ingredients are ready to go, no tedious pre-prep necessary. In just a few minutes you can have a finger food for a cocktail party or appetizers for a homemade Asian dinner.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Cream cheese (regular, light, fat-free, whichever your preference)
Canned crab
Wontons
Green onions
Worcestershire sauce
Soy sauce
Cooking spray (or melted butter)

Step 1

Drain canned crab. Mix with cream cheese. For 8 ounces of crab, use 12 ounces of cream cheese.
Step 2

Mix in soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce to taste.
Step 3

Chop two to three green onions and add to the mixture.
Step 4

Take wontons, one at a time, and spoon a small amount of crab mixture in the center. Wet edges and fold over to create a triangle shape. You can then wet two corners on the long side and pinch those together to create a classic won ton (or tortellini) shape.
Step 5

Spray sheet pan and place Rangoon on tray. Spray top of the wontons or brush with melted butter.
Step 6

Cook at 350 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes or until browned.

Tips & Warnings

Wontons are generally found in the produce section of the grocery store, with the tofu and vegetarian products.
Melted butter can provide a more golden color on the cooked product, but it adds more fat to the end product, compared to the cooking spray.
Be sure to seal the seams of the wontons so the mixture doesn’t come out during cooking time.

on 6/16/2008 Opps I see a typo (I need more coffee)

I think the 'no comment' thing is because the site is so new, and I'm not sure about the way we have to tool around is the best for the site. I don't know why people don't leave a comment here and there, I see a ton of articles, that people on this site have written and I don't often see comments on any of them, it's kind of strange, I mean we're to be networking, right? lol...

I've also noticed, that when I've e-mailed a few people here, so called 'new friends' I don't get a reply back?? I find that odd as well. The site won't make it, if no one is really comunicating here.

Sorry for posting this here, I guess I could have sent you an e-mail... but I wanted to make sure you had a comment...

Love the recipe above, sounds YUMMY!
