Crab Rangoon Pockets
Whenever we order Chinese food, crab rangoon is a must. Creamy and delicious, the crunchy outside is a perfect balance with the soft and delicious inside. Served with sweet and sour sauce, dip away and crunch into what we think to be one of the best appetizer recipes. Make crab rangoon in your own home and forget about ordering out again.
