Crab Rangoon

As a complement to my fried rice, I wanted to try my hand at crab rangoon, to see if I could truly replicate the take out experience at home. Verdict? Not quite, but not half bad. I'll have to make some adjustments to the filling, but overall, not bad for a first try.



Ingredients

Wonton wrappers (found in the refrigerated section near the veggies)

Fat free cream cheese

Green onion

Canned crab meat

Vegetable oil


I didn't go off any recipe here, I pretty much just winged it. I mixed some cream cheese, crab and chopped green onion together in a small mixing bowl. I placed smallish spoonfuls of it in the center of the wonton wrapper and the folded the wrapper over, wetting the bottom edges so the top stuck to it. Then I placed them in some heated oil in a pan on the stove, and fried them until they looked done. Not quite restaurant quality but not bad. Would have benefitted from some sweet and sour sauce for sure. Next time.
