mock seafood and seaweed question

[Guest guest]

I am craving crab rangoons (and I don't want to eat crab)! Had Chinese food

with my family the other night and those crab rangoons smelled soooo good --

I managed to get by with my General Tso's tofu (so I now like tofu 2 ways -

this way and in pad thai), but I have GOT to figure out how to make mock

crab rangoons. I've figured out, for the meat foods I do crave, if I can

figure out how to make it at home without meat or find a good veggie

substitute I'm good.

 

I tried the Worthington Skallops tonight, just rolled them in breadcrumbs

and fried in peanut oil, and they were good. I need to get some shrimp

cocktail sauce, I bet that would be great with them. I think I can use

those, cut-up in little pieces, instead of crab. They're kind of the right

texture.

 

What kind of seaweed do I need to get to flavor them just right? I don't

want them tasting like tuna (ick) but I want some kind of sea-flavor. Ideas?

 

 

Thanks!

You can order mock shrimp online.

Sea flavor comes from kelp powder. Get some from the Asian market

Online? So is does it come dried? I asked at my Whole Foods once, and

they didn't carry it. I had thought it would be frozen like the soy

crumbles or chick'n strips.

I don't order it but it's vegan and I believe it comes packed on dry ice.

Ah, now I remember the discussion we had on this some time back. It

just means that the shipping costs will be fairly high.
