Crab Rangoon
- 14 lb imitation crabmeat
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon green onion
- 1 egg
- 40 wonton skins
- Chop the crab meat finely, and place it in a large mixing bowl.
- Chop the green onions finely, and place in the bowl with the chopped crab.
- Add to the bowl the cream cheese, the black pepper, and the sugar.
- Stir to combine until you achieve a relatively smooth paste then set aside.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl.
- Take a wonton wrapper and place it in front of you so that it makes a diamond.
- Brush a small bit of the beaten egg along the very outside edge of the two bottom sides of the wonton.
- Do not brush egg along all four sides or the wonton will not seal.
- With a 1/2 tsp, deposit a rounded spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of the wonton.
- Fold the wonton wrapper in half, making a triangle.
- Use your fingers to push out any excess air in the wonton, then seal the edges with your fingers.
- Repeat for the rest of your wontons.
- Heat 4 cups of canola or peanut oil in a large pot on your stove to 375 degrees.
- Fry the wontons five at a time in the oil for 3 minutes, turning them once.
- Make sure to let the oil come back to 375 degrees inbetween each fry session.
- Drain on a cooling rack.
