What is it? A brand of frozen foods that specializes in Asian snacks. This includes potstickers, wantons, and rolls. I found them in the snack food/appetizer section of the frozen foods at Kroger. The Their products have zero trans frats, use no artificial food dyes, and have no high fructose corn syrup, and no added MSG. Some of the varieties even come with dipping sauce, either Sweet Chili Sauce or Soy Sauce. Yay! I’m a huge fan of anything that comes with a dip! I chose the crab rangoon because I haven’t had them in a long time.
The crab rangoon ended up being better than the rest of my lunch!
How I used it I made the crab rangoon for lunch (along with some other stuff, but the crab rangoon was the best part!). I took the package’s recommendation and cooked them in the oven. I’ve found that this is the best method for heating leftovers and cooking anything that is fried or baked. Also, Pagoda recommends placing them on a foil lined baking sheet. You should do this! It makes cleaning up really easy.
Getting ready to bake in the oven
A little (very little) filling leaked out during cooking. Lining the baking sheet with foil made for a very easy clean up. Since this one doesn’t come with a dipping sauce I bought two sauces to go with it. I decided Pagoda Snacks must know what they are doing and chose a soy sauce and a sweet and sour sauce to go with my crab rangoon. They both were great with the crab rangoon, but I preferred the sweet and sour sauce.
Crispy, golden brown deliciousness! YESSSSSS!
Likes
- Easy! I cooked mine in the oven on a foil line baking sheet. They cooked perfectly and clean up was a breeze.
- The crab flavor was delicious! I wasn’t expecting such good flavor from a frozen product.
- They were crispy! This was also kind of surprising. You bake them on the top rack of the oven so they get super crispy, just like they had been fried. YUM!
Dislikes
- I would have liked it if this one came with a sauce. I’m not sure why it doesn’t and all the others do.
Conclusion
I already have these on the grocery list for our next grocery run. They were so easy to make and tasted just like the ones you get at a restaurant. I can’t wait to try all the other varieties! Get more info on Pagoda Snacks and all the varieties here. Pagoda Snacks
