Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 6 oz crab meat fresh lump or imitation, chopped
  • 2 tbsp green onions finely sliced
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 0.5 tsp worcestershire sauce
Wrappers & Frying
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 3 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 bowl water for sealing edges

Equipment

  • Heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch Oven
  • Deep-fry thermometer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Wire cooling rack

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until just combined.
  2. Lay a wonton wrapper flat and place about 1.5 teaspoons of the cream cheese filling into the center.
  3. Dip your finger in water and lightly wet all four edges of the wonton wrapper.
  4. Bring all four corners of the wrapper up to the center, pressing the air out and pinching the seams tightly together to form a sealed bomb shape.
  5. Heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy pot to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fry the crab rangoon bombs in small batches for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on a wire rack. Serve warm with sweet chili dipping sauce.

Notes

Do not overfill the wrappers, or they will burst in the hot oil. Ensure the seams are pinched completely shut.
