How to Make Reduced Fat Crab Rangoon With Plum Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Lightly spray a baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, omit for sugar-free version).
  4. Gently fold in 8 ounces crab meat (canned or imitation), 2 tablespoons chopped green onion, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
  5. Lay out 12 wonton wrappers on a clean surface.
  6. Place a small bowl of water nearby.
  7. Place 1-1 1/2 teaspoons of the crab mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper.
  8. Dip your fingers in water and moisten the edges of each wrapper.
  9. Fold each wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing firmly to seal and crimp the edges. Gently release any air pockets.
  10. Place the wonton pockets on the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Lightly spray the wonton pockets with vegetable cooking spray.
  12. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  13. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce: plum sauce (recipe below), wasabi mustard, or Chinese mustard.
  14. **To make Plum Sauce (optional):**
  15. Combine 1/2 cup plum preserves, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons ketchup, and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar in a small saucepan.
  16. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water until smooth.
  17. Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and stir constantly over medium heat until the sauce thickens and comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute.
  18. Serve hot or cold.
