CRAB ASPARAGUS EGG ROLLS WITH THREE DIPPING SAUCES



Crab Asparagus Egg Rolls with Three Dipping Sauces image

If your a fan of egg rolls like I am, give these a try. The asparaus gives them a nice crunch, and the crab meat mixed with the garlic and ginger gives the filling something extra special. The dipping sauces are fun. Beware of the peanut sauce, it's really HOT.

1/4 cup dark soy sauce

2 teaspoons brown sugar, to taste
1 cup apricot preserves
3 -4 tablespoons yellow mustard (can add ½ yellow and ½ Dijon or spicy honey mustard your choice)
1 cup unsalted peanuts

2 teaspoons red chili paste (I like sambal)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste

2 limes, juiced
1/2 cup hot water

Steps:

  • For egg rolls: Heat 1 tbsp canola oil in wok or sauté pan over medium high heat.
  • Add ginger and garlic, toss in oil.
  • Sauté cabbage, carrots and asparagus for 1-2 minutes, to heat through.
  • Add soy sauce, sesame oil and sauté for one minute more.
  • Lower heat to medium and fold in crab meat and scallions.
  • Add white pepper to taste.
  • Keep over heat to warm through.
  • Remove from heat, and let filling cool.
  • Place egg roll wrapper in front of you, point down.
  • Place about 3 tbsp of filling towards the lower half.
  • Roll the bottom up, and the sides in, like an envelope.
  • Fold over and seal the end of the egg roll with a bit of water to keep closed.
  • Repeat until all egg roll wrappers are filled.
  • Heat canola oil in wok or deep frying pan.
  • I fry four egg rolls at a time and use just enough oil to cover the egg rolls about ½ to ¾ of the way over.
  • Heat oil over medium high heat, to about 350 degrees, and fry egg rolls until golden brown on each side.
  • Remove from oil and place on metal wrack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Serve with your choice of dipping sauces.
  • For sweet soy dipping sauce: Combine all ingredients and stir to dissolve sugar.
  • Allow to sit for at least one hour.

  • Ready to serve.
  • For peanut sauce: Blend peanuts, soy sauce, chili paste, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, and lime juice until mixed thoroughly, into a paste.
  • Add as much as hot water is needed until sauce is at desired consistency, thinner or thick, depending on taste.
  • Garnish with peanuts.

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 cups cabbage, shredded
1 carrot, shredded
½ cup fresh bean sprouts
1 celery stalk, diced
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 (4 ounce) can shrimp, drained
2 tablespoons soy sauce
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
black pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten
cornstarch
20 egg roll wrappers

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together cabbage, carrots, sprouts, celery, and onion. Stir in shrimp, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper.

  • Place 2 or 3 tablespoons of the shrimp mixture into the center of an egg roll skin. Dip a spoon into the water and cornstarch mixture, and moisten all corners but the bottom corner. Fold the egg roll skin from the bottom over the mixture, making a tight tube of the shrimp mixture. Fold corners in from the sides, and press to stick against folded roll. Then roll the rest of the way. Repeat with remaining egg roll wrappers.

NEW ORLEANS STUFFED CRAB EGGROLL



New Orleans Stuffed Crab Eggroll image

I love this time of year for the crabs. As a kid my mom would always make stuffed crabs, well crabmeat stuffing baked on individual aluminum crab shaped tins that we washed after each time we used them. Oh the memories, how my tummy would get happy when my mom said to get out those individual crab tins. This is my play on my...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb crabmeat, fresh, white
1 stick butter
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
4 stalk(s) celery, finely chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 egg
2 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 c parsley, finely chopped
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 c milk
1 c bread crumbs
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1 pkg wonton wrappers
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter in a skillet and sauté onions, celery, bell pepper, and garlic. Sprinkle with salt to season.
  • 2. Add crabmeat, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, and salt. Cover over low heat for 10 minutes
  • 3. Remove crab mixture from skillet and add to a large mixing bowl.
  • 4. Add egg, milk, and half cup of bread crumbs to crab mixture. Mix thoroughly. Add the some of the other half cup of bread crumbs if needed. I don't like to much bread in mine, it overpowers the crab. However you do want the mixture to hold together, use your judgment.
  • 5. Following the instructions on wonton wrapper package, place a tablespoon (from your utensil drawer) of mixture on wonton wrapper. Fold up wrapper to make eggroll as shown on package directions.
  • 6. Heat oil in a heavy pot, enough oil to submerge eggrolls. Place about 6 eggrolls in the oil. They will cook quickly, so keep an eye. Once they get golden brown, remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

CHEF JOHN'S CRAB RANGOON



Chef John's Crab Rangoon image

While not 'authentic,' these crispy crab and cream cheese wontons are one of the most addictive, delicious, and crowd-pleasing appetizers ever created. That is, if the filling has enough crab in it. I'm using a 1 to 1 ratio of crab to cream cheese.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces crab meat, drained well
⅓ cup chopped green onions
1 clove crushed garlic
1 teaspoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon fish sauce
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon sesame oil
1 pinch cayenne pepper
60 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers
Canola oil for frying
1 cup ketchup
¼ cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce, or to taste

Steps:

  • Mix cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, sesame oil, and cayenne pepper together with a fork until ingredients are blended thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, 1 or 2 hours.
  • Keep wonton wrappers moist by covering with a damp paper towel. Place a small bowl of water nearby on the work surface. With a wet fingertip, moisten surface of wonton. Place 1 1/2 teaspoons of crab filling in center of wonton. Fold 2 opposite corners toward each other over the filling but without touching tips together yet. Fold up the other 2 corners. Working gently from the bottom, squeeze out any air bubbles; pinch together the 4 seams from the bottom up to create a modified pyramid (or "warhead") shape. Place on a dry surface. Continue with remaining wontons.
  • Heat oil in deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Fry wontons in batches until golden brown and crispy, gently moving them around in the oil with a strainer to brown each surface, about 3 minutes. Let cool about a minute before eating. Serve with the dipping sauce.
  • Whisk ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and sriracha sauce together in a bowl for the dipping sauce.
