That was just about perfect. And yes, even after thawing, we never had a change in the taste or the crispy texture. The sauce was the perfect match( I added a little bit of sweet mustard to a seperated p0rtion of sauce, yummy, too)

You didnt tell me how long to cook the rangoon in oil.. Matter of fact you never mentioned anything about cooking it.. just mentioned how to prepare it. [Editor's note: recipe was updated as a result of this review 6/10/03]
