Chicken fried Rice & Crab Rangoon :-)

Both of these recipes were super easy .The rice was good not 100% like the local Chinese joint , more like 85% but still yummy. The crab Rangoon's omg so so so good, taste 110% authentic

This recipe was really easy , however the hardest part about making these are folding them.

• with finger apply water along the bottom of the won ton wrap then fold the top over to seal
• After triangle is made with the won ton, push the middle part in with thumb and add water to left corner of won ton.
  
• Fold over the two corners. Finished product will look like the picture if done correctly.

I have added this video that shows step by step directions for the crab Rangoon's and the recipe I used. These are super easy once you get the hang of it and turned out so good. These were easy but takes about 1 hr to make the whole batch (around 34 Rangoon's) Another thing to remember when sealing the corners make sure you press down firmly to ensure that there are no spaces where the mix will pop out when frying.
