Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • 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
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, lump crab meat, finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Make sure there are no large lumps of cream cheese left.
  2. Take a wonton wrapper and place about one tablespoon of the filling in the center. Be careful not to overfill, as this can cause the wontons to break while frying. Moisten the edges with water using your fingertip.
  3. Fold the wonton wrapper diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges together tightly to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets, as this can lead to them bursting during frying.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. You want the oil to reach 350°F (175°C) for ideal frying. If you don't have a thermometer, test the oil by dropping in a small piece of wonton wrapper; it should sizzle immediately.
  5. Carefully place three to four Crab Rangoon Bombs in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  6. Once golden brown, remove the bombs from the oil and drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat until all bombs are fried, adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain oil temperature.
  7. Allow the Crab Rangoon Bombs to cool slightly before serving. This will help the filling set, making them easier to bite into without spilling.

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure your oil is hot enough before frying to avoid greasy bombs. You can customize the filling by adjusting the cream cheese-to-crab ratio or adding ingredients like lemon zest for a fresh flavor.
