Voodoo Chow Mein



I couldnt tell you if it was the 5hour energy shot I had @ 10 a.m. this morning or the 'Grande Latte' from that mega powerhouse Coffee shop chain from Seattle or what, But I was feeling the 'inspiration' of creating some 'cullinary voodoo' which I trumped in on the opportunity..triple fold;
and the outcome was this....(above)

INGREDIENTS

Rice & Chow Mein Mix

********************

3.5 Cups of Brown Rice (white rice ok too)

6oz diced Chicken (can is ok, but the more 'fresh' the better

6oz Crab meat (preferrably real..NOT imitation, but the artificial is ok)

9oz stir fry vegetables, Mushrooms,Baby Corn,Bamboo Chutes, Water Chestnuts,Red Pepper etc..

*improvising along the way is ok too ie:Sun Dried Tomatoes,Onion,Green/RePepper, snow peas etc is fine too....get creative!

4oz Dried Chow Mein Noodles (store bought is fine, if not feeling that creative)

------------------------------------------

Crab Rangoon

*************

1 pkg Wonton wrappers (16 oz will yield btwn 40-50 Rangoons, depending on how well you stuff them)

1 whole brick of Cream Cheese (16 oz)

2-4 tblspn(s) of Lea & Perring Worcestershire Sauce

* you can also tweak the filling by adding Garlic, Thyme, Cilantro..or in this case Old Bay* season to desired taste

1-2 cans of Crab Meat OR Fresh Crabmeat (Blue Crab, King Crab, Dungeoness Crab will work as well too

MIX WELL & FOLD, FOLD, FOLD! to desired textured *the thicker the better, in this case

empty Crab/Cream Cheese mix into Ziploc baggie, cut end off then squuze desired amount into Wonton Wrapper, wet all 4 ends to guarantee cohesiveness, then fold into triangular shape, toss them into oil, bron both sides, 3-4 minutes each side usually proves adequate

FINALLY

add Hoisin Sauce (store bought o.k.) to Brown Rice, then add Chow Mein mix, top off w/ Dry Chow Mein Noodles

This can be tweaked, improvised in many different ways so get creative!

MANGIA! or however you say 'Eat' in Chinese LOL
