Rangoon

Rangoon recipes are said to date back to the 18th century, when the British first arrived in Burma. The name is thought to come from the city of Yangon (formerly Rangoon), which was the capital of Burma at the time. The dish is thought to have been created by Burmese cooks working in the British colonial kitchens, who combined British ingredients with traditional Burmese flavors.

The dish became popular in the UK in the 19th century, when it was often served as a starter or side dish. In the 20th century, it became a popular bar snack in the US, where it is usually deep-fried and served with a sweet and sour sauce.

Rangoon recipes vary widely, but the most common ingredients are shrimp, cream cheese, and onion. The shrimp are usually cooked in a curry paste, then wrapped in wonton wrappers with the cream cheese and onion. They are then deep-fried and served with a sweet and sour sauce.
