I wanted to make crab rangoons. I was just wondering, is there any other way to make them besides deep frying?

Answer 1

Baked
24 wonton wrappers
Five-spice powder, as needed, optional
Cream Cheese Dip:
8 1/2 ounces crabmeat, drained if using canned meat, and flaked
8 ounces cream cheese
1 teaspoon chopped red onion
1 - 2 green onions, diced
1/2 teaspoon Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
PREPARATION:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Spray 2 baking sheets with non-stick spray.
Combine the cream cheese and crab meat mixture. Stir in the remaining ingredients, mixing thoroughly.
Take a wonton wrapper and lightly dust it with the five-spice powder if using (about 1/8 teaspoon).

Cut the wonton diagonally so that it forms 2 triangles. Continue with the rest of the wrappers. (Cover the remaining wrappers with a damp cloth so that they don't dry out).
Arrange the wonton wrappers on the baking sheets. Place in the stove on the middle rack, and bake until they turn brown (5 to 6 minutes). Remove and cool.
Place the cream cheese in a medium sized baking dish. Bake until the cream cheese is heated through and just starting to bubble (18 to 20 minutes). Remove and serve immediately with the wonton chips for dipping. If desired, also serve hot mustard and/or sweet and sour sauce.

Answer 2

I've made them before, and I suppose you could bake them. But the wonton wrappers won't be as puffy and crispy. If you don't have a deep fryer, a large pan will do. I'm totally willing to sacrifice my diet for crab rangoon.

Answer 3

1 can (6 oz.) white crabmeat, drained, flaked
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, 1/3 Less Fat than Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/4 cup KRAFT Mayo Light Mayonnaise
12 won ton wrappers


PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Mix crabmeat, Neufchatel cheese, onions and mayo.
SPRAY 12 medium muffin cups with cooking spray. Gently place 1 won ton wrapper in each cup, allowing edges of wrappers to extend above sides of cups. Fill evenly with crabmeat mixture.
BAKE 18 to 20 min. or until edges are golden brown and filling is heated through. Serve warm. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.




KRAFT KITCHENS TIPS


Makeover Savings
We've taken a favorite appetizer and made it over. We substituted PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, 1/3 Less Fat than Cream Cheese and KRAFT Mayo Light Mayonnaise instead of regular cream cheese and mayonnaise. Since these tasty appetizers are baked, they require less hands on time so that you can spend more time with your guests. This baked version saves 80 calories and 6.5 g of fat per serving compared to traditional fried Crab Rangoon.

For Mini Crab Rangoons
Use 24 won ton wrappers. Gently place 1 won ton wrapper in each of 24 miniature muffin cups sprayed with cooking spray. Fill evenly with crabmeat mixture and bake as directed. Makes 12 servings, two appetizers each.

Good Luck & Enjoy! ;-)

Answer 4

You can try baking them. I would spray them liberally with cooking spray as well as the baking sheet. As for the temp, I'm not sure. You'll have to play around with that and watch them closely. I'd say somewhere between 350 and 400 degrees.

Answer 5

Just make them like you normally would but bake them instead of frying.
