Ingredients:
๐ฑ 2 green onions, finely chopped
๐ฆ 8oz imitation crab meat, shredded
๐ถ๏ธ 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
๐ง 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
๐ง Salt, to taste
๐ฅ Wonton wraps, as needed
๐ง Water, for sealing wontons
For the sauce:
๐ถ 1 cup white vinegar
๐ค 1/4 cup brown sugar
๐
1/4 cup ketchup
๐ถ 1/4 cup adobo sauce (from the chipotle peppers can)
๐ 1 tbsp. cornstarch
๐ง 2 tbsp. cold water
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Equipment: Mixing bowl, spoon, small saucepan, skillet, baking tray, paper towels
Servings: Makes approximately 24 rangoons
Instructions:
- Start by finely chopping your green onions and shredding the imitation crab meat. Place both in a large mixing bowl.
- Mince your chipotle peppers and add them to the bowl with the green onions and crab meat.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the bowl with your other ingredients. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Season the mixture with salt to taste.
- Layout your wonton wraps on a clean working surface. Moisten the edges of each wrap with a little water using your finger or a pastry brush. This will help seal the rangoons.
- Place a small amount of the crab mixture into the center of each wonton wrap. Fold the wonton diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges together to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets.
- In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and adobo sauce. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the cold water to create a slurry. Once the sauce is boiling, add the slurry, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Reduce the heat and let simmer for a couple of minutes, then remove from heat.
- Heat oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Fry the rangoons in batches, careful not to overcrowd the pan, until they are golden brown and crispy, which should take about two to three minutes per side.
- Once cooked, remove the rangoons and let them drain on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
- Serve the Spicy Chipotle Crab Rangoons hot with the sauce on the side for dipping.
Cooking Tips:
- Ensure the edges of the wontons are well sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying.
- Don't overfill the wontons, as this may also cause them to burst open when frying.
- For a healthier option, you can bake the rangoons at 375ยฐF (190ยฐC) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown, instead of frying.
