Ingredients
Crab rangoon
- 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 3 oz imitation crab meat drained
- 2 green onions chopped
- 1-2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp soy sauce
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 package wonton wrappers
Chinese Mustard Sauce
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- generous drizzle of honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Garnish
- additional sliced green onions
Instructions
Make sauce
- Add all mustard sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Cover and chill.
Prepare
- Add oil to dutch oven (or other large heavy bottomed pot) and heat over MED heat to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a paper towel, then top with a wire cooling rack. Set aside, near the stove.
Make filling
- Combine all crab rangoon ingredients, except wonton wrappers, into a food processor. Pulse until mixture is mostly smooth.
Assemble rangoons
- Place wontons wrappers on flat surface, and spoon approximately 1 Tbsp of filling into the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Fill a small bowl or glass with water, using your fingers or a pastry brush to "paint" the outer edges of your wonton wrappers with the water.
- Bring 2 opposite sides of the wrappers together, pinching closed, then bring the 2 other sides towards the middle and pinch to seal all edges.
- You can fold these any way you like, so long as the edges are sealed so your filling doesn't come out while cooking.
Fry
- Add 5-6 rangoons to preheated oil and fry for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove to prepared wire cooling rack topped baking sheet, and repeat with any remaining rangoons, frying 5-6 rangoons (or less) at a time.
Garnish and serve
- Sprinkle fried rangoons with additional sliced green onions and serve warm.
