Super yummy fried dumplings that will knock your proverbial socks off.

Ingredients

  • .5 lb (8oz) Cooked Crab Meat (or imitation if you are cheap like me)
  • 6oz Softened Cream Cheese
  • 1 green onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • .25 onion
  • 2 tsp Worchestershire Sauce
  • 2 tsp Sriracha Hot Sauce
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 package Won-Ton wrappers
  • A little bowl of water

Prep Work

Shred your crab meat up in a big bowl. I use a fork.

Chop the living bejeesus out of your onions, green onion, and garlic.

Dump everything except the won-ton wrappers and the water on top of the crab meat

Mix the crap out of it. I find my potato masher works perfectly. You could also use a food processor if are so inclined.

Now, it time to make the rangoonies. Take a teaspoon of the stuff, and stick in the center of a won-ton wrapper

Wet your finger in the water, and rub along two edges in an L shape.

Now, fold it up into a cute little package by folding diagonally into a triangle (1) then fold the two points along the long edge in (2) then the other point (3) You can dab a little more water on the points so they stick better, but not too much, because we will be frying these up.

Heat about 1/4" of oil on med-high heat in your cast iron pan.


Cooking

Put your rangoons in the oil, in small batches so you don't drop the temperature too much, and fry until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side. They cook up pretty fast, about 10 seconds per side.

Remove from the oil, and drain on some paper towels... congrats, you have Crab Rangoon!!
