What is the secret to making authentic and traditional chinese crab rangoon at home?

You could spend your entire life learning to master cooking Chinese food
But should you?

>> No.12243296

probably making dough wrappers yourself so they taste fresher, and using real fresh crab, msg, and cream cheese.

>>12242823
you could just try to bride your local Chinese place for the recipe, they would probably take it if you keep quiet about the rat meat in it

There's nothing "authentic" or "Chinese" about crab rangoons.

That makes me want to ask my local Chinese joint about that. It's likely surimi with some kind of sauce that they wrap up, then serve with other sauce.
One thing that I've noticed is that the so called authentic places don't do it as well as local joints.

Sometimes I just want some crab rangoon and spring rolls and if it wasn't nearly 5am in the morning when everything is closed by me then I'd get an order.

Jet fired gas powered woks help as well.
You can't really do that in a home setting unless you're some multi-millionaire with a mega-kitchen.
I've seen them, been in them, it's expensive to say the least.

Maybe, it depends on the restaurant.
