Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 oz imitation or fresh crab meat, finely shredded
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Assembly and Frying
- 30–40 wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for deep frying (about 2-3 cups)
Dipping Sauces (optional)
- Soy sauce
- Sweet chili sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Combine the softened cream cheese, shredded crab meat, chopped green onions, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, making it easy to handle.
- Assemble the Bombs: Lay wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each wrapper. Bring the edges together and pinch tightly to form round bombs, ensuring the filling is completely sealed.
- Heat the Oil and Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the assembled bombs in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the fried bombs with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with dipping sauces like soy sauce or sweet chili sauce for optimal flavor.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and smoother filling.
- Do not overfill the wonton wrappers to prevent breaking during frying.
- Lightly wet the edges of the wrappers to seal them securely.
- Maintain oil temperature to achieve a crispy and non-greasy texture.
- Drain fried bombs on paper towels or wire rack to keep them crispy.
