Crab And Cream Cheese Wontons Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, imitation crabmeat, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and green onions.
• Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper.
• Place egg whites in a small bowl. Using the fingers, spread egg white over two edges of the wonton wrappers. Fold into triangles and press to seal edges.
• In small batches, deep fry the wontons until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.

Steps:

• Press out as much liquid as possible from any crab meat you are using. Any excess moisture will soak through the wonton skins. In a medium bowl combine the crab, cream cheese, green onion, tarragon, salt and pepper either with your hands or a mixer with a paddle attachment.
• Take a wonton skin, place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. With a finger dipped in egg, moisten the 2 adjacent sides; fold over the opposing corner to make a triangle. (You have some choices with shape. You can make a purse, tortellini or traditional triangle wontons.)
• Place the completed ones on a tray. Uncooked, rangoons can be wrapped and kept frozen for 1 to 2 weeks and dropped into the fryer frozen.
• Heat oil in a 4- or 5-quart (3.8- or 4.7-L) Dutch oven or pot until the oil reaches 360°F (182°C). Fry in small batches until golden about 2 minutes on each side and drain on a wire rack over a cookie sheet. I like to serve these with sweet chili or plum sauce.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, crab and onion. Place 1 rounded teaspoonful in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten wrapper edges with water; fold in half lengthwise and press firmly to seal. , Keeping the filling in the center, again fold wonton wrapper lengthwise. Moisten the top of the short edges with water. Bring the two top edges from opposite sides together, overlapping the edges; press and seal (finished wonton resembles a nurse's hat)., In an electric skillet, heat 1 in. of oil to 375°. Fry wontons for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Press wonton wrappers into greased mini-muffin cups. Spritz wrappers with cooking spray. Bake until lightly browned, 5-7 minutes. , Beat cream cheese, mayonnaise, salt and pepper until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients. Spoon into wonton cups. Bake until heated through, 9-11 minutes. If desired, serve with sweet-and-sour sauce., , , , , ,

Steps:

• Chop the crab and the onion into tiny pieces.
• Soak the onion in cold water. (The onion adds the tangy flavor. I only used the green and soaked it for a long time. If you like more onion, use the white and soak for less time).
• (Food processor may be used for next steps.)
• Add sugar to cream cheese and mix well.
• Add crab, mix well.
• Add onion, mix well.
• Using a butter knife, take some of the mixture and put into the middle of each wrapper. Bring sites together so it looks like a X from above. (the mixture holds it shut. It's important that you DO NOT seal the wrappers. The oil getting inside is what gives it it's texture.).
• Deep-Fry on 375ºF for 1-2 minutes - depending on how dark you want them. Even if they look soft when you take them out, they continue to cook after removed. Overcooking will burn the wrappers.
• (If cheese escapes a little - this is normal. If it happens every time and becomes bothersome, then just close the corners together more so it's self-sealed better. The X shape is basic, but you can squish them together more if needed).
• Place on paper towels to drain oil.
• Serving depends on how much you use in each wrapper. Time depends on how quick you are.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Lay wonton wrappers on prepared baking sheet. Place 1 teaspoon cream cheese in the center of each wonton wrapper.
• Lightly brush edges of wonton wrappers with water and fold each wrapper in half to form a triangle. Press edges to seal. Fold the tips of each triangle up together so that they meet in above the center of the wonton and press tips together to seal. Spray assembled wontons with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until wontons are crispy and golden and the cream cheese is melted, 5 to 7 minutes.

Steps:

• In a skillet melt butter over med heat.
• Add crab and onion.
• When well heated and starting shred, remove from heat.
• Place cream cheese in medium-sized mixing bowl.
