    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

      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.

    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.

      @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.

  • @AzraelThanatos
    @AzraelThanatos 3 роки тому +11

    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

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 🙂

      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.

    For people who complain about the amount of oil you need to fry things at home you can literally reuse frying oil, at least a couple times. Of course with all things it does go bad though. My fiancé used to never want to try anything always wanted to use the air fryer bc he said why waste a whole thing of oil to just throw it away, and I just found out recently you can re use it a couple times.

    I made this without measuring ingredients and it was delicious. Thank you! I also made a good sauce using ketchup, honey and some lemon. Which I got from a UA-cam short by @NickDiGiovanni and they also have their own recipe for Crab Rangoon Wontons.
    I had some substitutions for the Crab Rangoon Wontons; I used gyoza/dumpling wrappers instead of wonton wrappers, water instead of eggwash, and I used imitation crab instead of King Crab. I also added a little bit of soy sauce since I thought I was out of worcestershire sauce. I fried mine in oil and they were good but someone said they tried one in the air fryer and it was good as well.

    Bro, yr crab rangoon wontons are 🔥 Can't wait to recreate these in my test kitchen. No Asian restaurant here on island delivers this top quality as yours does. Generally, all fried wontons it's stuffed with pork or some questionable ground meat so it's a damn crying shame that it's been resorted to that. And just like you, t's all about bringing the memory alive even if you have to build it from scratch. Thank you for sharing your recipes. Much love💓

    • @SimonC82686
      @SimonC82686 2 роки тому

      I'm sry but a lot of people go for asian restaurants because it's typically cheap UNLESS you are going to some fancy place. These days people don't want to pay premium prices for cheap food. Unless the restaurant is located where crab is easily accessible for more reasonable prices. It's just not practical for cheap restaurants to pay 20-30$ a lb (that's maybe enough for 4 orders of appetizer if you stretch it really thin) for the cheapest crab you can get to put in to an appetizer that people most likely wouldn't want to pay the price increase for. That crab there he's using costs $650

      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...

    As a person who lives in Alaska (where most of the commercial crab is caught) king crab is good don’t get me wrong but.. Dungeness crab is so much tastier. It has a rich buttery body meat and is the perfect size. The flavor is rich and creamier than king crab.
    People always judge a crab by its size… but it’s smaller cousin is more tasty and deserves more love 😥😂
