Rangoon With Citrus Mustard Sauce - Sitstayplay
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp. soy sauce
- 1 green onion finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- Fresh cracked pepper and salt to taste
- 8 ounces cooked shrimp chopped, or crab meat
- 1 package wonton wrappers (sm. squares)
- Small bowl of water for dipping fingers
- Oil for frying
- For the Sauce:
- 1/2 10 ounce jar of orange marmalade
- 3 tsp. Chinese hot mustard
- 2 tsp. soy sauce
- For the Rangoon:
- Combine all ingredients through pepper and salt, mixing thoroughly. Fold in the seafood.
- Lay out 6 wrappers in front of you so they form diamonds not squares. Add about 1 teaspoon of filling to the center of each wonton.
- Using the finger bowl, wet the edges of each wonton.
- Bring the bottom point of the wonton up to the top point, forming a triangle. Seal the edges of the wonton together and smoosh the filling a bit.
- From here, you can leave the wontons in a triangle shape or you can be a bit more creative, folding the left and right points 1/2 way towards the center creating a crane or bowtie effect.
- As you complete filling and folding the Rangoon, set them aside and cover with a damp paper towel to keep moist until you're ready to fry them.
- Heat oil in a wok or heavy skillet for deep frying. The temperature should be around 370 degrees.
- Carefully place each of the Rangoon into the oil, being careful not to overcrowd them, and fry till a nice golden brown, turning often. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or plates.
- Note: The Rangoon will swell with steam and the trick is to remove them from the oil before the filling starts to ooze out from the pressure.
- For the Dipping Sauce:
- Whisk together the three ingredients for the sauce and serve alongside the Rangoon. You can vary the amount of hot mustard according to your tast.
- (I have used apricot jam instead of orange marmalade and it was delish!)
