Ingredients
Scale: 1x | 2x | 3x
-
12 wonton wrappers
-
1 cup lump crab meat (fresh or canned, well drained)
-
4 oz cream cheese, softened
-
2 green onions, finely chopped
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon soy sauce
-
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
-
Place one tablespoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
-
Lightly moisten the edges with water, fold diagonally to form a triangle, and press firmly to seal.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
-
Fry the Crab Rangoon Bombs in small batches for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
Notes
-
Seal well: Press the edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
-
Don’t overcrowd the pan: Frying in batches keeps the oil temperature steady and ensures crisp results.
-
Use softened cream cheese: This helps create a smooth, creamy filling.
-
Air fryer option: Lightly spray with oil and air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
