MAKE KETO WONTON DOUGH:

  1. Make the dough for the wrappers. In a food processor, pulse the almond flour and egg, until uniform.
  2. In a medium bowl in the microwave, or a double boiler on the stovetop, melt the mozzarella cheese, until smooth.
  3. Add the melted mozzarella to the food processor. Process until a uniform dough forms.
  4. Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the dough. Process until well incorporated.
  5. If the keto wonton dough is sticky, form into a ball and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or until no longer sticky.

MAKE FILLING:

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together the La Terra Fina dip, green onions and coconut aminos.
  2. Gently fold in the lump crab meat.

ASSEMBLY:

  1. Place the ball of dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper. Flatten into a disc, then roll out into a thin square, 1/8 inch thick and about 12.5 inches on each side.
  2. Use a pizza wheel or knife to cut the rectangle into a grid of squares, 5 top to bottom and 5 across, so that each square is about 2.5×2.5 inches.
  3. Use an extra small cookie scoop like this to scoop filling in rows onto each square, off center, leaving an empty border along the edge of the rectangle and also between pieces. Fold the corner of each square over the opposite corner and seal the edges, forming a triangle. Repeat with all the crab rangoon pieces.

COOK CRAB RANGOON:

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until shimmering.
  2. Working in batches, add the crab rangoon in a single layer without touching. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes, until golden on the bottom. Flip and repeat on the other side. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining pieces.

SWEET & SOUR SAUCE:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, until thickened.

Serving size: ~3 pieces + 2 tbsp sauce
