Jalapeño Crab Rangoon.

The first day I became vegan, I ordered Chinese food and got a buddha bowl and crab rangoon. I didn’t even realize I was eating crab until half way through. Transitioning into a vegan diet is a process sometimes, and a learning (or unlearning) experience. So, here’s my (edited a thousand times) version of crab rangoon… and added a little spice. You can omit the jalapeño if you want.
