Crab Rangoon Stuffed Wonton Recipe
PREP: 1 hour
COOK: 45 minutes
READY IN: 2 hours
Serving Size: 4 each
Servings:
Change Servings
Ingredients
  • 8 ounces cream cheese - softened
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro - minced
  • 2 teaspoons scallions - minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger - minced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 8 ounces crab meat
  • 32 wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
Directions
Crab Filling Preparation
  • Soften cream cheese to room temperature
  • In a bowl, combine cilantro, scallions, ginger, sugar, jalapenos and lime juice with softened cream cheese.
  • Add crab mixture and lightly mix with other ingredients.
    Wonton Wrapper Preparation
  • Using wonton wrappers approximately 4 inches square will work to make smaller dumplings for appetizers. However, if a larger dumpling is preferred, a 4 x 6 inch rectangular wrapper can be made from spring roll dough sheets. Use an 8 inch square spring roll dough sheet to begin. Cut two rectangles from each 8 inch dough sheet and there will be 2 inches of dough as excess.
  • Lay wonton wrappers on a flat surface and add a teaspoon of crab filling in the center of the wrapper or adjust amount depending on size of the wrapper. Lightly and evenly spread the filling into a coin-shaped portion making sure to keep it well away from the outer edges.
  • Dampen the edge of each wrapper with water and fold in half, resulting in a rectangular shape to the wrap.
  • Dampen the edge of each wrapper with water or a lightly beaten egg and press the edges together so they seal the contents. As they are sealed, press the excess air out of the wonton to keep the wonton from puffing up as it cooks.
  • Fold the wonton lengthwise in half again, creating a somewhat narrow rectangular shape to the folded dough.
  • Moisten the edges again if necessary so they adhere better. Fold each end in toward the center of the wrap, allowing half of the end to remain in a vertical position while the other half is folded over on top of and overlaps the opposite side end piece, like the end corners of an envelope.
  • Press the ends together that overlap, so they adequately seal.
  • Keep the filled wontons covered with a damp cloth to retain the moisture in the dough while others are being filled.
  • When ready to cook, place the filled wontons on a baking sheet layered with parchment paper.
  • Pour cooking oil in a skillet and heat on medium high to 350° F
  • Fry wontons in small batches for 3 to 4 minutes each until they are light golden brown.
  • Remove and place on paper toweling to absorb any excess grease.
    Dipping Sauce
  • Use a sweet and sour sauce and a hot mustard sauce to provide two choices for personal tastes.

    Servings:
    Change Servings
    Ingredients
    • CRUST:
    • 2 cups finely ground graham crackers (about 30 squares)
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
    • FILLING:
    • 2 packages cream cheese, softened (8 oz pkg)
    • 3 eggs
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 pint sour cream
    • 1 lemon, zested
    • 1 dash vanilla extract
    • WARM LEMON BERRY TOPPING:
    • 1 pint blueberries or raspberries
    • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    Directions
    CRUST:
    • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the crust ingredients with a fork until evenly moistened.
    • Lightly coat the bottom and sides of an 8-inch spring form pan with non-stick cooking spray.
    • Pour the crumbs into the pan; then using the bottom of a measuring cup or the smooth bottom of a glass, press the crumbs down into the base and 1-inch up the sides.
    • Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
    FILLING:
    • Beat the cream cheese on low speed for 1 minute until smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time and continue to beat slowly.
    • Gradually add sugar and beat until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes.
    • Add sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla. The batter should be well-mixed but not overbeaten.
    • Pour the filling into the crust-lined pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
    • Set the cheesecake pan on a large piece of aluminum foil and fold up the sides around it.
    • Place the springform pan in a large roasting pan. Pour boiling water into the roasting pan until the water is about halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan; the foil will keep the water from seeping into the cheesecake.
    • Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours. The cheesecake should still jiggle, so be careful not to overcook.
    • Let cool in pan for 30 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator, loosely covered, for at least 4 hours.
    • Loosen the cheesecake from the sides of the pan by running a thin metal spatula around the inside rim.
    • Unmold and transfer to a cake plate.
    WARM LEMON BERRY TOPPING:
    • In a small saucepan add all the ingredients and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes or until the fruit begins to break down slightly.
    • Leave to cool before spreading on cheesecake.
    • Using a spatula spread a layer of the topping over the surface of the cheesecake.
    • Slice the cheesecake with a thin, non-serrated knife that has been dipped in hot water. Wipe dry after each cut.

    Ingredients
    • 2 pints fresh strawberries
    • 2/3 cup sugar
    Directions
    • Clean strawberries and remove stems and cores. Cut berries into quarters and place in a bowl. Slightly mash the strawberries using a fork, potato masher, or a pastry blender. Sprinkle the berries with the sugar and stir until dissolved. If the berries are very sweet, you may want to cut the sugar back to 1/2 cup instead of 2/3 cup. Place the strawberries in the refrigerator and allow to stand for 1 to 2 hours.
    • After the strawberries have been standing, remove them from the refrigerator. They should be juicier than when they were put into the refrigerator. Mash the strawberries again until they are the desired consistency. Taste for sweetness. If more sugar is wanted, add 1 teaspoon at a time, stir, and taste again. When sufficently sweetened, the sauce is ready to use.
