Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz fresh lump crab meat or good quality canned crab meat, well-drained and flaked
- 2 green onions, finely chopped (white and green parts)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce (preferably low-sodium)
- Wonton wrappers (standard square)
- Oil for cooking (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil for deep frying; avocado or olive oil for air frying or baking)
- Sweet chili sauce (for dipping, optional)
- Soy-ginger dipping sauce (for dipping, optional)
- Hot mustard (for dipping, optional)
- Duck sauce (for dipping, optional)
- Red pepper flakes or sriracha (optional, for heat)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, well-drained and flaked crab meat, finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Lay one wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of crab rangoon filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Bring all four corners up towards the center and pinch to seal tightly. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- For deep frying, heat 2-3 inches of neutral oil in a pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry 3-4 bombs for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. For air frying, preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and air fry for 6-8 minutes. For baking, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 12-15 minutes.
- Transfer hot, crispy Crab Rangoon Bombs to a serving platter and serve immediately with dipping sauces.
