Crab ragoons egg rolls and orange chicken w/ rice
Today I gave making my own Chinese food a try was it perfect? No. but it was so delicious and fun to do with my man if u wanna try making your own Chinese plate here’s how you do it.☺️🫶🏻
First I started with the egg rolls you’ll need
Egg roll wraps
Cold slaw mix
shrimp or whatever meat you like
And a cup of water
First thing you wanna do is take your shrimp fully cooked and mix it with your raw slaw mix. After that season with whatever you like garlic powder, onion powder, salt , pepper, Worcestershire sauce and whatever it’s your egg rolls or don’t season at all totally up to you. After you make your mix your gonna take your egg roll wraps and place one at a time on a plate or cutting board any flat surface. Put your mixture in the middle take the cup of water dip your finger in and only rub the edges with water and fold. The fold is similar to how you would roll up a burrito. Next after making them your gonna get a pot heat up some oil and start frying make sure your oil is hot fry until golden brown and remove from oil let sit for a few minutes and they are done!
Next the crab ragoons (the sweet ones) you’ll need
Imitation crab meat
Powder sugar
Cream cheese
First thing you’re gonna do is break up your imitation crab meat. Then you’re gonna mix it in a bowl with your cream cheese and your powdered sugar. Make sure your cream cheese is softened. I don’t use any measuring cups. I basically just eyeball it and taste to make sure it’s sweet to my liking. Then after that I get my small wonton wrappers and I wet the edges fill and fold once they’re all filled up and folded. I fry them and oil until golden brown and that’s it.
Last but not least the orange chicken you’ll need
Tyson boneless chicken bites
Orange marmalade
And bbq sauce
This is the easiest part. All you do is mix the boneless chicken bites with the orange marmalade sauce in the barbecue sauce. Make sure you mix the orange marmalade in the barbecue before putting on the chicken and then mix it up together again then you bake it in the oven according to the chicken package directions and serve! I paired it with white rice ENJOY! 😊
Creating authentic-tasting Chinese dishes at home has become increasingly popular, allowing you to customize flavors and ingredients to your liking while enjoying the cooking experience. Egg rolls, a staple appetizer in Chinese-American cuisine, traditionally consist of a crispy fried wrapper filled with a savory mixture of vegetables and meat such as pork, chicken, or shrimp. The inclusion of cold slaw mix and cooked shrimp in your recipe adds freshness and a delightful texture contrast. Seasoning the filling with garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and other spices imparts a layered flavor profile tailored to personal taste. Crab ragoons, a sweet and creamy treat, combine imitation crab, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar wrapped in wonton skins and fried until golden brown. This dessert-like appetizer balances sweetness and richness, making it a unique delight frequently served in many Chinese-American restaurants. Experimenting with the sugar amount allows you to adjust sweetness to preference. Orange chicken, a popular Chinese-American entrée, features boneless chicken bites coated in a tangy and sweet sauce often made from orange marmalade combined with barbecue sauce or soy elements. By mixing the marmalade into the barbecue sauce before tossing with chicken, you ensure an evenly flavored coating. Baking the chicken according to package instructions is a convenient and healthier alternative to deep frying while retaining flavors. Serving this meal alongside white rice completes an authentic yet approachable Chinese plate, making it suitable for a family dinner or a fun culinary date night. Homemade versions ensure control over ingredients, allowing adjustments for dietary preferences or spice levels while delivering a memorable and satisfying meal. Incorporating simple, accessible ingredients and easy cooking techniques makes this Chinese dinner journey enjoyable and achievable for home cooks of any skill level. For best results, using fresh or high-quality frozen shrimp, real cream cheese, and verified food-safe wraps will improve texture and taste. Always maintain hot enough oil for frying to achieve the signature crispiness without oil absorption. This detailed yet simple recipe set invites you to enjoy cooking and savoring your favorite Chinese dishes at home, offering gratification beyond takeout.
