BAKED CRAB RANGOON (USING IMITATION CRAB)



Baked Crab Rangoon (Using Imitation Crab) image

This is my version of the Crab Rangoon III recipe from allrecipes.com. I found the exact same imitation crab packages at Walmart for half the price that they were at Safeway.

Categories     Chinese

Time 1h15m

Yield 48 wontons

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened (low-fat is fine)
1 (8 ounce) package imitation crabmeat, flaked
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup green onion, finely chopped, green parts only
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 (14 ounce) package wonton wrappers
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • In a food processor, mix all ingredients, except the wontons and the egg.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of wonton wrappers. Moisten wrapper edges with a small amount of egg, fold over the mixture and pinch to seal.
  • Bake the wontons for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Serve with plum sauce or sweet and sour sauce for dipping.
  • Notes:.
  • I have found wonton wrappers at both Safeway and Walmart, but I prefer the ones from Safeway. They are about the same price, and the Safeway ones are thinner and taste better (in my opinion).
  • You can also make these ahead and freeze them: Make the filling and seal the wontons. Place them (unbaked) on a baking sheet and stick the sheet in the freezer, until the wontons are frozen. Take the wontons off the baking sheet and put them in a Ziploc freezer bag (this way they won't stick together). When ready to bake, take as many as you need from the freezer, lightly grease a baking sheet, and bake as directed.

BAKED CRAB RANGOON

This version of my favorite Chinese appetizer is baked instead of fried, making them lower in fat. They are absolutely delicious! I don't really like crab, but I devour these.
