Homemade Crab Rangoon

I fell in love with Crab Rangoon when I first tried it in Seattle. The crab rangoon from this dingy hole in a wall shop inside Pike Place Market was simply awesome. Freshly made, piping hot, creamy cream cheese mixed with imitation crab meat encased on a crispy wanton skin. Delicious! But only if you like creamy food. 

So I decided to re-create the crab rangoon. It is quite simple to make. 

Ingredients:
- cream cheese
- imitation crab meat or real crab meat
- spring onions, finely chopped
- worchester sauce, a dash or 1 teaspoon
- light soya sauce, 2 teaspoon
- black pepper

Method:
1. Mix them all together.
2. Drop a tablespoon size into wanton skin. Wrap dumpling or parcel style
3. Keep in fridge to let it harden for a while so that the shape will hold when deep frying.
4. Deep fry or bake it in oven (maybe 15-20 mins) 
5. Serve. 

If there are leftover filling, you can add cooked potato and shape them into balls and fry it too.

Where I have been hiding...

I know I know...I'm still abysmal in blogging. But....I have been posting over at Yelp. Yepper, I'm now a Yelper. Bad pun, I'm aware :p

So if you are interested, you could always read my reviews over there. I will still be blogging here on and off.  The url is under Fave Links.
