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

Assembly

  • 12 wonton wrappers

For Frying

  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the softened cream cheese, lump crab meat, finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  2. Fill the wontons: Place about one tablespoon of the crab filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water to help seal, then fold over diagonally, pressing tightly to form a triangle and ensure the filling is securely enclosed.
  3. Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet to a depth sufficient for frying. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F (175°C), which is ideal for crisping without burning.
  4. Fry the rangoon bombs: Carefully place three to four filled wontons into the hot oil, frying each batch for about 3 to 4 minutes per side or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and to create a smooth filling.
  • Be careful not to overfill the wonton wrappers to prevent them from bursting during frying.
  • Maintain the oil temperature at 350°F for the best crispy texture without absorbing too much oil.
  • Drain the fried bombs well on paper towels to keep them crisp and less greasy.
  • Serve immediately with a dipping sauce such as sweet chili or soy sauce for added flavor.
