Crab meat is always nice wrapped up in a little bundle. Crab wontons are hard to find. I hope these 2 will give you some ideas to create your very own.
Crab and pork wonton
This wonton contains crab meat (fresh or canned, up to you) and pork. If you don't eat pork, substitute with other meat like chicken. I wouldn't recommend beef, it would probably overpower the crab.
Ingredients1 packet of won ton wrappers
Filling
250g crab meat
250g ground pork
1 stalk finely chopped spring onion
Seasonings for filling
2 tsp cooking wine
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp minced ginger
Dash of cold water or soup stock
Directions
- Mix the ground pork, crab meat, chopped spring onion, cooking wine, soy sauce, minced ginger together. Add cold water or soup stock if mixture is too dry
- Wrap the wontons
- Boil water and cook the wontons. Drain and leave aside
- Prepare the wonton soup
- Pour the soup into serving bowls, add the wontons
Crab Rangoon
This is a crab rangoon recipe. Fresh crab and soft cream cheese is a lethal combination.
Unlike the first wonton recipe, this is a fried wonton.
Ingredients1 packet of won ton wrappers (get thinner and whiter version for frying)
Filling
1 can of crab meat
1 package of soft cream cheese
1 small onion, diced and sauted
Dash of pepper
Directions
- Mix the crab meat, soft cream cheese and sauted onion together
- Add a little milk if the mixture is too dry
- Wrap the wontons. Try the samosa with a twist
- Heat a wok of oil and fry the crab rangoons
- When the crab rangoons float to the surface, they are done
- Fry a little longer till they turn golden brown
