Mar, hi I just made these… I put a little dish with water next to my tray of wonton wrappers & after you add the teaspoon of filling, dip a finger in the water & run it over the edges of the wonton wrapper before folding it up. Also make sure it’s pinched closed. You could also fold like a triangle instead to fry it verses having a fancy looking wonton. Hope you try it again, ours were perfect!

Erin,
WOW! I can’t thank you enough! These were so delicious! I made these for another vegan & two of my omnivore friends, everyone loved them & waited patiently for more!
I did the jackfruit on the stovetop with the vegetable broth, I brought it to a boil & then put it on medium for about 15 minutes. I shredded it while it was simmering also to help save me some time, as I was very anxious to finish them!
Also as I had seen someone had “lost” their fillings in an above comment so I used a bit of water on my finger to draw around the edges of the wonton wrapper before I folded them & I made sure to pinch them tight as you suggested.
This recipe is perfect! Thank you so much! It was amazing to recreate one of my childhood favorite foods I hadn’t eaten in over 10 years!

In reply to DaisyD. Daisy, I would just simmer the jackfruit on your stovetop until soft. Be sure to drain and press after shredding. I hope you enjoy the recipe!

Hi Erin! Lovely recipe, I’ve got all my ingredients but no crock pot… what would be the best substitute method of cooking the jackfruit with the broth on the stovetop? Thanks can’t wait to make them!

Mar,
That’s happened to me a bunch of times when it comes down to cooking anything filled. I’ve learned to not put as much filling as i did before, and to securely and firmly make sure that I am pressing the dough ends tight enough so no leakage of filling comes out when it comes down to cooking time. Hope that helps!

Erin,
Thank you for allowing me to not lose hope in being vegan. Crab rangoon has always been my weak spot and quiet frankly I could find myself not caring for any plate put in front of me but never with crab rangoon. You were the first person to make me truly happy with this, and I’m disappointed that i haven’t found this sooner even.

My filling melted. Any tips or ideas why? ;( they were delicious but the filling wasn’t there… just flavor. Should I freeze them before I fry them?

In reply to Daisy. Hi Daisy, yes on draining, and I've updated the recipe text to make that more clear. I hope you enjoy the recipe!

Hi! This recipe looks amazing! I’m going to make it this weekend. Do you drain the canned jackfruit before putting it in the crickpot? Thanks
