Making Crab Rangoon Wontons At Home | But Better
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2024
- They have many names, crab puffs, crab rangoon, cream cheese wontons. If you've ever eaten at an American-Chinese restaurant, then you've likely had these before. They're pretty good but we can make them completely homemade, very easily, and more importantly... much, much better.

The best thing about crab rangoon is that tons of restaurants don't even make them anymore. They've been rebranded as "cream cheese rangoon" so that they don't need to put crab in
Crabs expensive, it's actually quite understandable
China moon in CA does and they are delicious!!
@@chucklesdeclown8819 That'd be a valid excuse if most places actually used real crab. Most of the time when I've had crab rangoon, it's been made with the imitation stuff.
I mean they could use imitation crab
Case in point, there are two "Asian" restaurants in my area. One sells crab rangoon with crab (probably imitation.) The other sells "fried wontons" so they don't have to put crab in it.
Imagine not making your own cream cheese.

Oh my goodness. We followed the recipe exactly as you showed, expect we used prepackaged fresh crab meat and we had to roll our dough with a rolling pin. We are in a food comma. The best crab Rangoon I’ve ever had. Thank you!
As opposed to a... food semicolon?

Good call on the imitation crab since that king crab apparently costs $650.

That crab is $860, on their site right now..... I would take that kind of sponsorship any day, but you definitely won't catch me paying that.
Right tf
And here I felt guilty spending 80$ on crab legs for me and my family 😭
$650 today. For rangoons? Make it make sense.
@@djdubuisson83 What a waste to deep fry such a delicacy and with cream cheese! If this is the actual price, then it would make the cost of these little parcels just a bit more than $72 each or £53.00. Perhaps one of the most expensive takeaways in the world. Give me the crab on its own with salt and pepper, a squeeze of lemon and some lovely brown bread with a good quality hand made butter.
Literally was thinking about crab rangoons this morning and searched up “crab rangoons Joshua Weismann.” Come to find out this video was posted 3 hours ago. Looks like it’s fate that I go and make these.
how'd they turn out?

I made this once as a contribution to my friends and I having our own Chinese buffet spread night. It was a HUGE hit! I posted pics on FB and I've had friends constantly messaging me saying I NEED to make this for them. Another home run hit Papa! (The only thing I didn't do was make my own Wontons, like Papa I went store bought in the end).

Every time I UA-cam search how to make something, you’re normally the first person to pop up. And for that, you got a new sub. You’re very informative and I appreciate how you have all the videos that I need.
I’m so glad I found this😭 you guys don’t understand how much I love these and it’s hard to find places that make them good but every once in awhile they become so dang good, thank you so Fffffffflippin much🙏
I used to work in a 2 Michelin stars restaurant on the French riviera a few years back. We used to make lobster ravioli with this shape. The dough was made with the Lobster rod, so it was dark green when raw and turned bright orange once cooked! Pretty cool to see!
And also we would refine the shape with scissors so the edges are nice and crisp.
“Visually I think we know who this will go. Ballsack, or the great pyramids.” 😂
I woke up today not knowing it, but this video was exactly what I needed in my life. Papa delivers yet again
"This is just a ball of cream cheese"
Nothing wrong with that.
“Stay here, enjoy the Crab Rangoon, and I’ll be right back after taking care of your friend”
I was searching the entire comment section for this. Thank you 👑
Yuma, we need to talk.
@xhthepikachu Gaming Considering the texture of crab in something like this is either going to be shredded meat, or slightly rubbery, you could probably sub out crab for some other fish or chicken, maybe certain varieties of mushroom? If all else fails, imitation crab is a solidified puree of fish.
“ no one makes them anywhere “
* sad Panda Express noises *
but they don't, at least none of the ones I've ever been to. It's just cream cheese, even the menu lists them as cream cheese rangoons.
@@j.c.cannon2112 Jade express best chinese place around. At least fast food chinese.
I have a Thai restaurant in my town thats been around way before I was born, and for a while it was the only place my mom could eat without feeling sick while she had me. And they honestly has the best crab rangoon's. But then again, its one of those mom and pop places in which the owners immigrated here, but watching this made me want some

No Chinese person is defending these restaurants and they're usually not even run by Chinese people, lol! Which, I'd call that cultural appropriation but again, no Chinese person is defending these places, lol!
...Still like eating at them, though.

@@xyfc6077 Handmade, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the "Chinese" restaurants that really aren't Chinese cuisine. I still enjoy the food! But no Chinese person is going to vouch for those locations as being authentic Chinese cuisine.
Chinese-american is def a seperate culinary culture from mainland chinese food. But being an american living in Asia, i make it probably once a month. You can't beat general tso's or orange chicken. That tangy sweet lacquered sauce gotdamn man
I love that whenever joshua needs precision he uses the METRIC SISTEM. Not only that, it also make sense
Not to be confused with the metric brostem
Followed your recipe perfectly I couldn't believe how amazing it came out.

@@georgewebber6313 eh?
This came out at the perfect time. I was making some yesterday, saw the vid and followed the recipe, with imitation crab because I am a poor pleb, and it turned out amazing.
Yesss thank god I was hoping you’d make this video. These are one of my fav foods I swear
I did these with canned tuna and it was way cheaper and still delicious 👌 this is the best recipe from a lot of youtube videos that I watch

But when I look up anything your videos always appear its quite pleasant. Amazing content, team and chef!!! Thanks
I just want you to know your crunch wrap is my go to meal. I love this channel !!
"Stay here DON'T move, I'll be right back."
I’ve never wanted to taste anything more than this...I’m salivating
Yep, one of my favorite foods in the world. I’ve made these before but never made the dough, I got to try that! I great little trick I’ve only seen once in a restaurant is add some curry powder - nothing too spicy. Either mix it into the crab mix, or sprinkle a little bit before sealing the wantons. I mean it’s hard to top the classic, but it’s a nice little variation :)
Perfect timing this came up in my suggestions today. I live in a remote area, on a boat and was mentioning to my husband that I forgot to get wonton wrappers last month when we went into town.
Yeah!! I'll be giving this recipe a go! Thanks Josh!!
It wouldn’t be a “But Better” without a “Let’s make this, shall we” and an “Alright guys and that is it” 😂
"We got, T H E B A G"
Best crab rangoon I ever had was at a Japanese place in my town. Not only did their cream cheese mixture have real crab, but they had it spiced with a mixture that I know had turmeric (but I'm not sure what else I tasted in there).
Anyway, it had a slightly Indian flavor profile and a nice sweetness and I nearly died
I am so happy you made this , Crab Rangoon is my all time favorite
I am making these with smoked mackerel at my restaurant in Vietnam. Wontons are so versatile it is a perfect starter. Thx for another great video.
Pagan Min: Please stay right here, enjoy the crab Rangoon, don’t move, I’ll be right back.
I have never seen crab rangoon that looked like a wad of used tissue paper until today
😆😆
same. place i go to theyre triangles, the only other place i got them they were pyramids like this. those wads were weird and i would not be putting them in my mouth
Maybe it’s a Houston thing because I have seen them both ways.
Not sure where he got them from, but those were in the shape of money bags. 💰
Actually made something that makes sense with accomodating ingredient's. Good job
Papa you are so right! After a busy shift in a kitchen there nothing better than comforting fried food!

Yummy!!!!! Thank you so much, I crave these.
One thing that I've seen several local chinese places do that might explain the lack of visible crab in the filling is that they tend to use a blender or food processor to make the filling...it tends to leave you with a mixed puree that lacks a lot of the texture of crab, but gives you an interesting shift in taste.
Best sauce for crab rangoon is a half sweet & sour mixed with an equal amount of hot (chili) oil
Hey thank you so much for this video. I whipped these up in no time without a scale, with the wrong kind of starch, with corn oil instead of veg and with canned crab instead of fresh and the woman who lives in my house still said it was incredible. This was a really fun little kitchen adventure.
Thanks for giving me the confidence to make these at home! DELISH.
This video is addictive 😩 looks so good

Make sure you’re not allergic to shellfish before you try it, or else you’ll have a bad time. Have you had shrimp or lobster before?

I am PUMPED about this video dude. Thank you so much. My local Chinese restaurant has the "ball sack" shaped ones and every other restaurant I have gone to has the square shaped. I absolutely love the "ball sack" ones at my local spot. I had to make sure I ate there every time I got a chance to go home on leave while in the military.
Looks awesome and yeah most places that serve crab rangoon rarely have crab oddly. The beauty of wonton is that you can pretty much stuff them with anything as I've made salmon locs wonton and even a spinach kale cream cheese wonton. Even tried your older recipe for the salted yolks inside a wonton with cream cheese blended with cooked crumbled sausage for a breakfast wontons. Great stuff and love your show as it's very inspiring to help cook 🙂
this guy has a full kitchen filled with only the ingredients and another kitchen to just create the magic food . love you pa pa.

When your crab Rangoon is so cwispy that you hurt yourself when you try to fling it into your mouth, you know you did something right brother!
Thank you for another fantastic recipe. I used shrimp instead but it still came out delicious.
That sauce looks incredible
Not gonna lie... I've had 'fancy' Crab Rangoon before that had tons of jumbo lump crab meat in them... and I kinda preferred the cheap shit. I think for me it's just one of those foods that is supposed to be shitty.
It's comfort food and most comfort food foods are cheap. They're not meant to be super fancy. I love crab rangoon but I make mine very simple, a little bit of crab meat, cream cheese and sugar and that's it. Very simple and quick.
I'm the same way. I prefer more cream cheese than crab because I usually eat it when I order takeout and want comfort food.
A restaurant around me makes big triangle shaped ones. Not much crab and the cream cheese is spread out more. I like them alot better than the shape he did
I like crab with sweet and sour sauce. But if it's going to have cream cheese, might as well go all cream cheese wonton, no crab, and no sauce. The combination of cream cheese and sweet and sour sauce or crab is just gross.
Is like the mcchickens.
Its not supposed to taste gourmet. Its literally bread and chicken and lettuce

Thank you for such a great easy way to make crab rangoon. What a fantastic crab! I'll be buying the best canned crab I can find, and store brought wonton wraps.
This looks incredible
Thanks for this video!! We don't eat shellfish anymore, so I was really missing those rangoons. Loved the fried cream cheese filled wonton. Those textures are amazing. Now I feel confident enough to try and make a vegetarian version. ☺️
You could probably use lion's mane mushrooms in place of crab, because then it'll still taste like crab, but still be vegetarian. Lion's mane mushroom tastes like crab when it's cooked, but it's also really good for you... There are also other mushrooms that taste like seafood in general...
