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

  • 12 wonton wrappers

For Frying

  • Vegetable oil (enough for deep frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, lump crab meat, finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a smooth and creamy filling.
  2. Assemble the Crab Rangoon Bombs: Place about one tablespoon of the crab filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water to help seal it. Fold the wrapper over diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges tightly to seal, ensuring no filling leaks out during frying.
  3. Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or frying pan to a depth sufficient for deep frying, and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature for best results.
  4. Fry the Rangoon Bombs: Carefully place 3 to 4 wonton bombs into the hot oil at a time to avoid crowding. Fry each side for approximately 3 to 4 minutes or until the wrappers turn a beautiful golden brown and become crisp. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to turn them gently and ensure even cooking.
  5. Drain and serve: Remove the fried Crab Rangoon Bombs from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili or soy sauce.

Notes

  • Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor, but canned crab meat works well too.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to mix easily with the other ingredients.
  • Seal the wonton wrappers tightly to prevent oil from entering the filling during frying.
  • Maintain the oil temperature at 350°F to ensure the Rangoon Bombs cook evenly and absorb minimal oil.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid lowering the oil temperature and uneven cooking.
  • Try serving with a sweet chili dipping sauce or soy sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
