Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 cup lump crab meat (fresh or canned)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 green onions (finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp soy sauce

Wrapper and Frying

  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crab meat, finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated into a smooth, creamy filling.
  2. Fill wonton wrappers: Place about one tablespoon of the crab and cream cheese filling into the center of each wonton wrapper. Lightly moisten the edges with water to help with sealing.
  3. Seal the bombs: Fold each wonton wrapper diagonally over the filling to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly together to ensure they are tightly sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during frying.
  4. Heat oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to approximately 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accurate temperature.
  5. Fry the bombs: Carefully place three to four crab rangoon bombs into the hot oil, frying in batches. Cook each side for about 3 to 4 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  6. Drain and serve: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried bombs from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and smoother.
  • Do not overfill the wonton wrappers to avoid bursting during frying.
  • If you prefer a different shape, you can fold into a purse or roll instead of a triangle, just ensure it’s sealed well.
  • Maintain oil temperature to get perfectly crispy bombs without absorbing too much oil.
  • Serve with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or a spicy dipping sauce for additional flavor.
