Crab Rangoon Across the Country
Since running away, I've had a crab rangoon fund saved for hard days. Whenever I get frustrated or have a very hard day I treat myself to my crab rangoon. Living in KC I spent all my money on doordashing crab rangoon and the next season I worked I saved all my money which ended up being my fund for running away. I put 200 aside to only spend on crab rangoon.
I have tried crab rangoon on the east, southwest, and now in the bay!
Midwest Crab Rangoon
8/10, not bad! Especially from family restaruants for sure, it is well made and well fried
East Coast Rangoon
3/10! Typically triangle shaped but not in the typical wonton shape.. Wrong shape, bad filling, disapproved.
Southwest Crab Rangoon
8/10! I ordered crab rangoon on a hard day in Las Vegas and it was pretty good
San Fransisco Crab Rangoon
Where the appetizer was invented! I wanted to go the original restaruant but it seems to have evolved into a expensive tourist place. So instead I went to City Chopsticks.
Crab Rangoon was perfectly fried. 9.5/10. The filling was good but I do feel like improvements could be made... though I'm not sure.
I have also made plently of crab rangoon of my own! Starting with pan frying since I wasn't really able to deep fry at the time. But living in the Southwest I figured out with the help of my friends deep frying. I made a giant batch of crab rangoon and even figured out how to make vegan mushroom rangoon! I didn't perfect the mushrooms but it was still pretty good. The second batch I made later on wasn't fried correctly... but it was the most crab rangoon I've ever seen.
In the search of the perfect crab rangoon!!!
