Wrap Rangoon is crab meat and cream cheese dumplings squeezed into small purses and fried, this is the perfect recipe for a Chinese fondue served with sweet and sour chutney or sweet chili sauce.
Crab Rangoon is one of the most popular Chinese food entrees on the menu at any of the million places to eat local Chinese food, and is probably second only to the egg roll.
The recipe is incredibly easy to prepare and future-ready. Once the patties are stuffed and closed, you can freeze them before frying. If you freeze it before frying, you’ll find that it often maintains a perfect shape when fried and begins to crisp before it has a chance to wilt into a star deformed with four corners.
