I don't even know what these are, what am I missing out on?

Crab Rangoon

Take these, I'm assuming that is a 450-500 gram package. In a stand mixer/ food processor combine these, 5-6 stalks of celery, 2 onions, 3-4 medium sized carrots, with about 1000 grams of plain cream cheese. Add in maybe a half tablespoon of MSG. Use a standard tablespoon to place in the center of a wonton skin, and fold the middle of each edge so that they are touching, and encasing the filling. The corners will naturally point up. Freeze overnight. Deep fry straight from the freezer for 1.5-2 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with sweet and sour, or duck sauce.

They're called "crab" rangoon because of the shape of the pastry. The four corners are the "legs" of the "crab"

They go a treat in homemade sushi rolls. I've got a pretty good pressure cooker sushi rice recipe that I used these for a lot.

Imitation crab?

I actually never even consider it, even though it's just as good as the real thing imo. Makin' me wanna add 'em to my shopping list this week and make crab cakes. 🤤

Great when my gf cooks them

Not at all.

I have never been a big fan myself, but seeing what the chinese do with these on XHS, if i weren't a vegetarian now i would be 100% giving them another look. I only ever had them in seafood salad really.
