Crab Rangoon


I can't begin to tell you how happy Aaron was that I made this!! OR how incredibly easy it was to make! We LOVE chinese food but since moving up here we have yet to find a good chinese place (or a mexican place but thats another time!)  I served this alongside lo mein and sweet and sour chicken, but they are phenomenal alone!



Ingredients:
12 ounces of cream cheese (at room temperature)
50 wan ton wrappers
1 cup imitation crab meat (or canned)
2 green onions (minced)
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon soy sauce
1 egg (beaten)
oil (for frying)

Yep. Thats it!



Step 1: In a bowl cream the cream cheese, soy sauce, green onions and garlic powder. Stir in the crab meat (if using imitation crab it should be chopped into pieces).Step 2: In a separate bowl beat 1 egg. Lay out a wanton wrapper so it forms a diamond shape and place 1 teaspoon of filling just below the center of each wrapper.

Step 3: Brush the opposite corners of the wanton wrapper with the egg mixture. Fold over the edges of the wrapper to form a triangle and seal tightly.
(You can either leave them this way or pull each end underneath and pinch together to make a neat looking crab rangoon!)



Step 4: Deep fry in batches at 375 degrees for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.




Now ENJOY! Dip them in your favorite sweet and sour sauce or anything that suits your taste!!
