Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup cooked crab meat, shredded (or imitation crab)
- 1 tablespoon green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Bombs:
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
For Dipping Sauce:
- Sweet and sour sauce or your favorite dipping sauce
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined and smooth.
- Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1-2 teaspoons of the crab mixture in the center of the wrapper.
- Wet the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little water, then fold it into a ball shape by bringing the corners together and pinching the edges tightly to seal.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot over medium-high heat, making sure there’s enough oil to submerge the bombs.
- Carefully fry the crab rangoon bombs in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce or Sriracha to the crab mixture for a spicy kick.
- If you prefer baking instead of frying, you can brush the crab rangoon bombs with a little oil and bake them in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for about 12-15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- You can make the crab filling in advance and store it in the fridge for a couple of days before assembling and frying the bombs.
