Crab Rangoons

If you are looking for appetizers for the Super Bowl, you might want to make Crab Rangoons.  These tasty bundles of crabby/ cheesy goodness are so simple to make. Because they are small- I don’t use a lot of oil to deep fry them. Just a couple of cups of oil in a small saucepan- fry a few at a time and you are done in no time at all. Of course, if you have a big crowd over for the game, you might want to use a bigger pot, with more oil. A wok works well for frying them, too.

Crab Rangoons

1 can (6 oz.) crab meat,drained well

1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese

1 t. horseradish

dash of hot sauce

wonton wrappers

oil for frying

Combine crab meat with cream cheese, horseradish and hot sauce. Place a wonton wrapper on work surface and place a teaspoonful of the crab filling in the middle. Fold 2 corners in to just touch. Take one of the remaining corners and roll up into a tiny roll. Dampen edge with a little water to affix. Repeat with remaining filling. You should get a several dozen. Pour 1-inch of oil into a small saucepan and heat to 350 degrees.  Fry rangoons a few at a time until golden and drain on paper toweling. Keep warm in 300-degree oven until ready to serve- but best served right after you make them. Serve with Sweet and Sour Sauce.
