  1. This is so simple it is a cinch to make in a hurry, but putting a dab of water on the edges of the wrappers make the wonton wrappers seal better!
     
  2. This has been put into my recipe book…WOW!!! Are these good.. I made them exactly to the recipe the first time and the second time I put in a table spoon of soy sauce and wouldn’t do it again it made the cream cheese too soft. The third time I thought that one of the reviews was correct in saying there was not enough crab, not having more crab I kept the ingredients the same and only used two 8oz cream cheeses. That made it just the way we liked! The entire family was gaga over them and I plan to make them Christmas Eve again… a double batch so I can eat some too. these are the best been making them for two years now final i am adding a picture.
     
  3. We eat rangoons out of a box almost every week. Decided to give this a whirl and was rather amazed how easy they are to make. Only made 1/4 of the recipe which yielded 15 of them, which was perfect for 2 people. I do agree with a comment about using a beaten egg to seal the edges...... makes it much easier. Will make a full batch and see how well they freeze. Great recipe!!
     
  4. These were great and the kids loved, loved, loved them. I looked like a rock star!! Thanks!
     
  5. I made these last night, and I have to say they tasted WONDERFUL. HOWEVER, unlike most of the posters here, the recipe made 110 rangoon at my house. But, the wonton wrappers I had weren't very big. I had enough to feed the 5 people that were at my house, took some to two of my aunts, and then took some to a few old co-workers as well. Everyone raved about them and asked for the recipe!!

Tweaks

  1. I have been chasing a unicorn and thanks to this recipe, I have found it. I have been trying to copy a local take out place that has a great rangoon. This recipe is the closest I have found and it's super easy in a food processor. Only things I changed were, I used half the cream cheese and doubled the crab. I also added 2 tsp Kikkoman Ponzu soy sauce and 1 tsp rice vinegar. For a bit of crunch I added 1/4 cup chopped celery. Threw veggies and garlic in processor, pulsed twice, added crab, pulsed a few times, added cream cheese, sugar, soy sauce and vinegar, pulsed until mixed. Perfect filling. Made 80 pieces and the filling didn't pop the wraps.
     
  2. Love these!! Tastes a lot like my favorite local spot!! I use egg roll/spring roll wrappers instead of wonton wrapper though. It saves all the folding!!
