Meltastic crab rangoon

Meltastic crab rangoon

<– You see that? You see that delicious picture? I just took that picture with my canon. That, my friends, is home made crab rangoon. With actual crab meat in it! It’s crazy, I know. Usually, I order some crab rangoon from my favorite chinese take out, Hop Bo, and there’s lots of cream cheese in it and flecks of something that I suspect might be carrot to fool us into thinking there might be crab in it. A speck of something so miniscule it really is just fried wonton wrappers stuffed with cream cheese.

Well. Last week I stumbled upon this recipe: Blogchef.net: Crab Rangoon recipe

NO MOAR PRETEND CRAB RANGOON. As you can see above in that delectable sexy-time picture, I have made RANGOON OF POWER. With crab in it! And in case you don’t want to click the link? Here’s the recipe from the site:

    Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces of cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 50 wan ton wrappers
  • 1 cup imitation crab meat (or canned)
  • 2 green onions (minced)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • oil (for frying) I used peanut oil.
  • Cooking instructions:
    Step 1: In a bowl cream the cream cheese, soy sauce, green onions and garlic powder. Stir in the crab meat (if using imitation crab it should be chopped into pieces).
    Step 2: In a separate bowl beat 1 egg. Lay out a wanton wrapper so it forms a diamond shape and place 1 teaspoon of filling just below the center of each wrapper.
    Step 3: Brush the opposite corners of the wanton wrapper with the egg mixture. Fold over the edges of the wrapper to form a triangle and seal tightly.
    Step 4: Deep fry in batches at 375 degrees for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

Go forth, my children, and make the delicious. You will not be disapointed. There is flavor a-plenty. Now if you’ll excuse me, Ima’ NOM OUM NOM and game some more!

    Rangoon of Power? Not only is crab rangoon one of my favorite things and one of the things that will help me gain back the 50+ lbs that I have lost, but now it is full of POWER. So, do I get like +20 strength or what? LOL. I am so making these this coming weekend.

    Rangoon of hypnotizing delicious Power +11. This is the bomb–it was very good and had a very different flavor than the stuff I usually end up ordering.

    There was even crab in it? GASP!

    Let know how they turn out and if you like ‘em!

    It was a bit tedious folding each of them, but you are right! It turned out way, way worth it!
