Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup crab meat, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon green onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Assembly

  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
  • Oil for frying (about 2 cups, enough for deep frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded crab meat, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
  2. Assemble the Crab Rangoon Bombs: Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Spoon 1-2 teaspoons of the crab mixture into the center of each wrapper. Brush the edges of each wrapper with the beaten egg to help seal them. Fold the wrappers into desired shapes (commonly triangles or small parcels), pressing firmly to seal edges tightly to avoid leakage during frying.
  3. Heat the oil: Pour oil into a deep pan or skillet to a depth sufficient for deep frying (about 2 inches). Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).
  4. Fry the Crab Rangoon Bombs: Carefully place a few of the assembled bombs into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Turn occasionally to ensure even frying on all sides.
  5. Drain excess oil: Remove the fried bombs with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat the frying process with remaining bombs.

Notes

  • You can bake the Crab Rangoon Bombs at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes as a healthier alternative; they will be less crispy but still delicious.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute crab meat with a mixture of sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and tofu.
  • Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the filling for a spicy twist.
  • Serve with dipping sauces such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce with sesame seeds, mustard sauce, or sriracha mayo for enhanced flavor.
  • Prepare and assemble the bombs ahead of time, storing them refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 24 hours before frying or baking.
