This is the recipe for sweet and sour sauce used in many Mom and Pop Chinese Restaurants. There are plenty of more complicated, more authentic and just plain better recipes out there, but try this just one time and I think you will find this simple one is the one you see and use most often.

Add dry sack sherry. Cook until liquid is cooked out.

Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Add crab meat to the pepper mixture. (Do not add crab to mixture until it has fully cooled as this can cause spoilage.) Toss to mix.

Add softened cream cheese. Fold to blend well. (This can be done in advance to here. Store mixture in a tightly sealed container, in the refrigerator, until ready to use. Do not wrap wontons until ready to fry as they will become soggy and break apart if done early.)

Place a few wonton wrappers flat on a work surface.

Place about 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon crab mixture onto the center of each wonton wrapper.

Pinch around mixture, closing in the middle with four corners out (they should look almost like a flowers when looking down). Rub edges with a bit of water to seal, if needed.

Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers.

Pour enough oil to deep fry wontons into a large cooking pot or skillet. Place over medium high heat.

When oil is hot and shimmering, add a few prepared rangoons to the oil, do not crowd, and fry for about 3 minutes, until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-covered plate to drain.

Serve with spicy plum sauce.
