Ingredients
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 1 cup lump crab meat, drained if canned
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with the crab meat until evenly combined. Fold in the chopped green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce, stirring until the filling is creamy and cohesive.
- Lay a wonton wrapper flat and spoon roughly one tablespoon of filling into the center. Lightly dampen the edges with water, fold the wrapper into a triangle, and press firmly to seal so the filling stays enclosed during cooking.
- Pour vegetable oil into a deep pan and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). Maintaining the correct temperature ensures crisp, golden shells instead of greasy ones.
- Working in small batches, gently lower the filled wontons into the hot oil. Fry until each side turns deep golden and crisp, about 3–4 minutes total. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm while the exterior is crackly and the filling is silky and hot. These bombs are best enjoyed fresh, ideally with a favorite dipping sauce on the side.
