Homemade Crab Puffs
I love getting Chinese take out. It’s something we rarely do at my house, but it’s always a treat. Mike gets House Chow Mein – lo mein noodles with sauce, beef, chicken, and shrimp – yum! I usually get Honey Chicken or Sesame Chicken. The place we order from includes white rice comes with entrees. Our absolute must when we order is Crab Puffs – fried, creamy, crabby little bites dipped in sweet and sour sauce…heaven.
I never feel like I get enough filling in my crab puffs. There was a Chinese place right a across from my apartment, years ago, that had the most perfect crab puffs. It’s been all I can do to try a recreate those puffs, and I think I have. So for all of you today, Homemade Crab Puffs.
Ingredients

These look amazing! I tried to make these by cobbling two recipies together, but I tried to bake them. It did not work out at all!! I'm going to have to try this recipe!
It's a good thing you don't live close to me!! These are to die for!
These are a little bite of heaven! So yummy.
Yum! I've been known to get triple orders of these and pretend like that counts as dinner 😉 This could be dangerous….
I'm not a big seafood fan but the are a must for my SIL! I'm going to have to try out your homemade version for her!!
Thanks for sharing this at Mom's Test Meal Mondays!
We went to Ft Myers Beach over the weekend for my birthday. We ate at a Sushi restaurant (which also happened to have a massive amount of beers on tap – sushi plus awesome beer on tap – WIN) that had the BEST crab rangoon I've ever had. They put curry powder in their cream cheese mix. I said that we need to go to Ft. Myers Beach again next year so we can have those crab rangoons and massive amounts of awesome beer on tap!
I'm definitely trying your recipe with the addition of some curry powder. Thanks for sharing this on Marvelous Mondays! I will be featuring this on my blog this week; the post should be up by tomorrow afternoon.
Have a great weekend!

Those look so good! Funny crab cake side note: My husband insisted upon having crab cakes for an appetizer at our wedding reception. Well, because of how the long pictures took, he didn't get ANY! I am going to have to make these for him so I can stop hearing about it!
These look so delicious and great for parties. thank you for sharing.If you like crab, I have a Crab Corn Soup this [email protected]
Looking forward to making these.
Yum, crab rangoons are my favorite! I'm so excited to try these. Thanks for sharing at The Fun In Functional!
Crab rangoons are so addicting! We make these at home too but I've never added the Worcestershire sauce. I'll definitely have to add that in next time 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing at Mom On Timeout!
