Consider spraying the bases of the pillows with oil to get “fried” on the bottoms and increase crispness See it it helps

Crab rangoon was served at Trader Vics in the 50's, but was first served at a trade dinner for the Chinese trade delegation in San Francisco. The orginal filling was just cream cheese, herbs, spicex and onion, no crab at all. The name was for the shape. The were served with the corners down, and looked like little crabs on the pkate, rangoon wad a type of dumpling that could have several different fillingd.

@OneOut1 2 жыл бұрын

Mixing all the ingredients except the crab first. That will loosen up the cheese. Then fold in the crab gently so it isn't crab paste. This provides a better crab flavor when chewing. I catch my own crab in the back yard and eat and cook with it often

I’ve had about 3 different brands that make imitation crab and they all contain about 2% real crab

@nuru666 2 жыл бұрын

@@vic827 This makes me really curious... Is it 2% real Crab MEAT, or is 2% of the mix Crab Meat OIL? And does that actually make a difference if it's the case for people who have this allergy? Basing this curiosity on my dad and my cousin, they're both allergic to peanuts, one fairly mildly, one fatally.... Dad can not eat a peanut or peanut butter but only reacts mildly to the scent of PB, even if it's strong and very close to his face. Danny can't even be in the same room as a peanut. Do the same ranges still apply to you guys? ps fuck food allergies, that sucks.

@osamu_90 2 жыл бұрын

@@nuru666 Not American, but I can bet you it's crab extract (extracted from both the shell and meat). Some makers in Japan add a little of real crab meat to make 'premium' imitation crab but those are minorities and the majority are just crab extract + whitefish paste and other seasonings. It really depends on the individual, but none of the people I know with shellfish allergy have a reaction to standard imitation crab.

@rachelharris725 2 жыл бұрын

@@osamu_90 agreed. I guess whatever they take from the crab isn't enough to trigger a reaction. It's the Iodine I have the problem with so I can see how it would be ok in immitation crab.

When I was a kid, my mom used to make chipped beef on toast. Never homemade, just store bought, out of a can or whatever. Haven't eaten it in probably 20 years. I'd like to revisit it, show me the way, Sam?

@SouloDoloMusic 2 жыл бұрын

It's actually really easy to do. Just look up a "sh*t on a shingle" recipe. It's a béchamel sauce with chipped beef on toast. Only need 5 ingredients - 7 if you include salt and pepper.

@DeathBYDesign666 2 жыл бұрын

Sam has done this already I think, or some version of it anyway. And you don't have to use toast, you can use biscuits or whatever else you want. It's literally so easy that making it from a can is only saving maybe 5 minutes. All you need is butter, milk, flour or cornstarch, salt and pepper and some kind of thinly sliced beef chopped up and a bread of some kind.

@a2ndopynyn 2 жыл бұрын

I would imagine it's pretty similar to Southern style biscuits & gravy. Slice the beef thin, cook it hot and fast in some oil, sort of like a stir fry. Remove the beef, add some flour to the oil and cook it for a few minutes to make a roux (not too hot so you don't burn the flour). Whisk in some milk, bring to a boil so it thickens. Lots of pepper and salt to taste; add the beef back in and simmer as long as you like over sorta low-medium heat. Serve over toast, biscuits, or whatever starch you like. Might be pretty good over rice, actually. Dammit. Now I'm hungry. Woke up late, no time to make breakfast. Anyway - enjoy.

Crab Rangoon was on the menu of the "Polynesian-style" restaurant Trader Vic's in San Francisco since at least 1956. Although the appetizer is allegedly derived from an authentic Burmese recipe, the dish was probably invented in the United States by , founder of Trader Vic's.
