Filling Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup imitation crab meat or fresh crab, chopped
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Assembly Ingredients
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
Cooking Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 cups)
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped crab meat, finely sliced green onions, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth and thoroughly blended to create a flavorful filling.
- Assemble the Bombs: Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the crab mixture in the center of each wrapper. Lightly brush edges with beaten egg, then pinch wrappers together tightly to form a sealed ball or pouch, ensuring no filling escapes during cooking.
- Fry the Crab Rangoon Bombs: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet to medium-high (about 350°F). Carefully place assembled bombs into hot oil and fry until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve: Allow the bombs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- Keep wonton wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out and cracking.
- Seal edges properly with egg wash to ensure bombs stay closed during cooking.
- Maintain oil temperature around 350°F for even frying and crispiness without excess oil absorption.
- Don’t overfill the wrappers to avoid leaks and maintain shape.
- Drain excess oil on paper towels after frying to keep bombs light and crispy.
