Crab Rangoon - Crispy Crab & Cream Cheese Wonton Recipe

[@foodwishes]

To all the people asking, yes you can bake these, and no, they're not even remotely close to as good.

[@hahmileygovea934]

I love crab Rangoon

[@Dreamer777777777]

+Food Wishes Actually it depends on the bake. The method I used was putting the wonton wraps in a cupcake tray, baking them till golden brown, then put the filling in and baking again to heat. True it doesnt have that deep fried crunch but it still had a crunch nonetheless. Came out really good. Also everyone should know this recipe! Crab Rangoon is amazeballs. Thanks for making this! :D

[@freedomdove]

+Food Wishes If people are worried about frying because of health reasons, they should just fry in organic expeller-pressed coconut oil. It's awesome for frying. It's more nutritious and less toxic than conventional "vegetable oil", and it doesn't leave a nasty residue in your frying equipment like the vegetable oils do. I love deep frying with coconut oil. I do avoid using my really good extra virgin CO because it tastes too much like coconut when I'm frying things that should keep their own flavor. The fried foods shouldn't come out too greasy if you're doing it right--that is, making sure to wait until the oil comes to 350 degrees before adding the food, and draining the food well after cooking.

[@charliebarnes7514]

Chef John, delicious recipe. Thank you! I wanted to share a tip I learned while watching Martha Stewart. Martha had a guest Chef on who owns a restaurant that serves fresh pasta. While making ravioli, he used a spay bottle set to a light mist to moisten the pasta. I've been using this technique ever since when working with pasta or won tons. It works perfectly and saves a lot of time when making large batches.
