Calories

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package cream cheese
  • 2 ounces canned crab not imitation crab
  • 1 tsp green onion chopped fine
  • 1/4 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • ½ tsp Redmond Real salt
  • WRAPPERS:
  • 16 large slices of Proscuitto sliced thin (from the butcher)
  • Coconut oil or SkinnyFat MCT Oil for frying
  • SWEET n SOUR SAUCE
  • ½ cup Natural Sweetener
  • ½ cup coconut vinegar
  • 2 TBS coconut aminos
  • 1 TBS tomato paste
  • 1 clove roasted garlic not raw
  • 1 tsp grated ginger

Instructions
 

  • Preheat fryer or oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl combine the filling until well combined.
  • Lay one slice of prosciutto wrapper on parchment paper so that the prosciutto is lying with short end towards you. Spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling on the bottom left hand corner of the prosciutto. Fold the prosciutto in a triangle shape over the filling (like you are making a paper football you use to fling across the classroom). Continue folding in a triangle shape making sure the filling is covered well. Continue until all the way to the top of the prosciutto.
  • Repeat until all wrappers are filled.
  • Working in batches fry the crab rangoon by placing the into the hot oil for about 2 minutes or until crisp on the outside. Remove from oil and serve.
  • SWEET n SOUR SAUCE: Heat the ingredients in a small saucepan until simmering. Whisk until smooth. If you want a thicker sauce, add ¼ tsp guar gum.
  • OIL TIP: Once cool, strain the oil and store in mason jars in the fridge for future use.
