Ingredients
- 4 ounces bacon, chopped
- 1/4 cup minced yellow onions
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 6 ounces crawfish tails
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 ounces goat cheese, softened
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 ounces Monterey Jack, grated
- 1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
- 1 package egg roll wrappers
- Water
- Vegetable oil
- Essence, for dusting, recipe follows
- Hot Mustard Sauce, recipe follows
Directions
In a small skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until browned and crispy. Add the onions, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring, until soft, about 1 minute. Add the crawfish, stir, and remove from the heat.
In a bowl, combine the cooked onion mixture, cream cheese, goat cheese soy sauce, hot sauce, green onions, and cilantro, and blend together. Add the Monterey Jack and mix well. Fold in the crabmeat, being careful not to break up the lumps. Adjust the seasoning, to taste.
Working 1 at a time, place the egg roll wrappers on a work surface. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the mixture into the center of the wonton and wet the edges. Fold over the sides to form a triangle and press to seal the edges. Set on a baking sheet and cover with a lightly damp cloth to prevent from drying out while assembling the remaining ingredients.
Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the crab rangoons and brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Once the rangoons are well browned, add a little water and cover. Cook an additional 2 minutes.
Arrange the crab rangoons on a platter. Serve hot with the dipping sauce.

Not too crazy about this one...I was looking for a nice crab rangoon recipe, and this one just sounded delicious, but after they were made and we tried them, all we could taste was the bacon. Not reminiscent of 'classic' crab rangoon at all! The hot mustard sauce recipe was very good. Next time (if there is one I will omit the bacon all togther. Sorry pork lovers :

These pot stickers taste great, but they are HUGE! Much faster to make than filling dozens of wonton wrappers, but a little difficult to handle. They freeze well (which is good b/c the recipe makes so much - just put them on a cookie sheet and freeze before cooking. Store in a ZL bag once frozen. Enjoy!
