Crab Rangoon

Appetizers - Fried - -

INGREDIENTS

Filling:
- 1 x 8 Ounce container cream-cheese substitute (I used Tofutti)
- 1 teaspoon red onion, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire (I couldn't find this so I combo'd a little soy sauce with a little BBQ sauce)
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
- black pepper (as much or as little as you like)
- 1/2 green onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 red pepper, chopped (makes it look like crab is inside! woo!)
Shells:
- 1 package vegan wonton wrappers (also couldn't find, so I used pre-made pastry dough, they come in circles and were in the freezer section of the grocery store, you'd need 2 packages of those)
- 1 bowl water

METHOD

In food processor, combine all filling ingredients, blend on low speed for about 1 minute, or until all is well-blended. This will be a little liquidy, pop in the fridge for a little bit to stiffen. Consistency isn't too important.

Lay out wrappers in a diamond shape (unless you're using the circles), wet the edges and apply approx. 1 tsp of mixture in the center and fold up. Making sure sides are sealed so filling does not leak.

Fry in hot oil until golden.

NOTES

If you use the pastry dough, the Rangoons will be thicker because of the shell, but they're still really good.

I have found that the cheaper, the more vegan with many things, including Worchestershire. My current bottle is the only Kroger brand item in my house, as the name brands all had anchovies.

In BBQ sauce, I have seen worchestershire listed as an ingredient without its ingredients listed as well. Gotta watch 'em!

Amy's sells a worstershire sauce for vegetarians/vegans. It's great, I've used in many recipes. Many groceries stores sell it...but depending on where you live you may have to go online to purchase it.
