Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 4 oz imitation or real crab meat, chopped
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Assembly

  • 30 wonton wrappers (regular or gluten-free for adaptation)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 cups)

Optional for Serving

  • Soy sauce or other dipping sauces such as sweet chili, plum sauce, or spicy mayo

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped crab meat, finely sliced green onions, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to create a creamy, flavorful filling.
  2. Fill the wonton wrappers: Lay a wonton wrapper flat and place about one teaspoon of filling in the center. Be careful not to overfill to avoid leakage during frying.
  3. Shape the bombs: Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water using your finger, then bring the edges together and pinch firmly to seal. Shape into a small, round ball to form the bomb.
  4. Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep pan or fryer and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Maintaining the correct temperature is key for perfectly crisp Crab Rangoon Bombs.
  5. Fry until golden: Carefully place the prepared bombs into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they become golden brown and crisp.
  6. Drain and cool: Remove the bombs with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling.
  • Don’t overfill wrappers to prevent tearing and leakage during frying.
  • Maintain oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) to keep bombs crispy and avoid greasy texture.
  • Seal wrappers tightly using enough water on the edges to hold shape firmly.
  • Test fry one bomb first to check seasoning and frying time.
  • Drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil for a lighter bite.
