Low Fat Baked Crab Rangoon Recipe

I did a slight variation on a recipe on one of my favorite blogs, Viet World Kitchen. It's Baked Deviled Crab Rangoon - I substituted Philadelphia nonfat cream cheese (I never recommend specific brands, but I've tried so many non fat cream cheese that tasted more like plastic, that I stick to this one now) and I used finely chopped onions instead of scallions (cuz that's what I had in the fridge).

I've also used this idea with all kinds of fillings - a favorite of mine is cabbage, carrot, onion, all sliced thin & cooked stovetop just a bit (still crunchy) and mixed with seasonings that I like, to taste. Since the baking time in the oven is brief, I want to cook it a bit before I fill the wonton wrappers, but not so much to make it mushy.
I also discovered that the wrappers don't need any oil to prevent sticking - a big plus for those of us trying to lose weight. So I skip that step.
Using the mini cup cake holders (never used them for cupcakes but now I'm glad I have them), no oil & the fat free cream cheese, the MFP computations tell me that each baked rangoon is only 40 calories. You can substitute any hot sauce if you can't get sriracha - and (always a good suggestion) taste the mixture to see if you want to adjust any of the seasonings.
Edit: Almost forgot - I also added about a teaspoon of Splenda to the mixture - I felt it needed it when I tasted the mixture, before baking, of course.

Well, I tried to edit it to do a direct link, but I can't get it to work. No matter - guess everyone knows how to copy & paste! :laugh:
I'm the same w/crab rangoon! I stopped to think about why I'm so addicted to Americanized Chinese appetizers when I really, really love authentic Asian foods - it's really comfort food for me, going back to my pregnancies (a zillion yrs ago). When I analyzed it, I realized that my top fav if crab rangoon - so this having this recipe is terrific.
Now if I can figure out the filling for egg rolls - the kind we get here in the Boston area (never realized it was regional until I lived in AZ for a couple of years). I know it's mostly cabbage & a little pork, but I haven't tried it yet.
Oh - I forgot! I also added a bit of Splenda, since I thought it needed it. That's where the tasting comes in - I'd say for the large recipe I did, I threw in about a teaspoon. (I tried to measure everything, but that's really a struggle for my style of cooking).0 -
