<– 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 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!
