Ingredients (serves 4):

For the Rangoons:

- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1/2 cup cooked crab meat, chopped
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp. soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten
- Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Sweet and Sour Sauce:

- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 tbsp. cornstarch

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, shrimp, crab meat, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
2. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Place a heaping teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wrapper.
3. Brush the edges of the wrappers with the beaten egg. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal.

5. To make the sweet and sour sauce, combine the sugar, rice vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, cornstarch, and water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
