   At a Thai restaurant in Margate, FL, they serve an appetizer named 
   Crab Rangoon.  These are little deep-fried won-ton wrappers stuffed
   with crabmeat and cheeses and served with a fruity sauce (Duck Sauce?).

   I have a simple recipe for them that involves mixing crabmeat into
   cream cheese for the filling, but these don't even come close, and at
   3.95 per half dozen, I can't afford to like them so well. :-)

   The recipe served at this restaurant has a bright lemon-yellow filling,
   and just a hint of curry flavor, maybe garlic as well.  Very rich.
   I've tried mixing curry powder into cream cheese, and it just doesn't
   cut it.  How do they get that yellow color?

   I would appreciate it if anyone has a Crab Rangoon recipe they would like
   to share, please send it.  Via email or rec.food.recipes.  When I 
   perfect the recipe (*if* I even can...), I will share it with all.

   Thanks.
