Filling Ingredients
- 4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 4 oz imitation crab meat, chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
Assembly Ingredients
For Frying
- Vegetable oil, enough for deep frying
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese with chopped imitation crab meat, finely sliced green onions, a pinch of garlic powder, a teaspoon of soy sauce, and a little sugar. Stir well until fully combined and smooth.
- Assemble the Bombs: Lay out your wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about a teaspoon of the crab filling in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, then carefully fold and pinch to seal, forming little “bomb” shapes with no gaps or openings.
- Fry to Golden Perfection: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F. Fry the Crab Rangoon Bombs in batches, turning occasionally, until they are crisp and golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve Warm: Serve your Crab Rangoon Bombs hot with your favorite dipping sauce like sweet chili, soy sauce, or a tangy plum sauce for a delightful appetizer.
Notes
- Chill the filling for 10 minutes before assembling to make it easier to handle.
- Use a little water on the edges of the wonton wrapper to ensure they stay sealed during frying.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature at 350°F to avoid soggy or greasy bombs.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan to keep bombs crisp and evenly cooked.
- Use fresh wonton wrappers for better sealing and even frying without cracking.
