Ingredients

Scale

Filling

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup lump crab meat
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Wontons

1 package wonton wrappers

For Frying

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil recommended)

Instructions

Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, lump crab meat, finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are fully incorporated into a creamy mixture.
Fill the wontons: Place a small spoonful of the crab and cream cheese filling in the center of each wonton wrapper, making sure not to overfill to ensure easy sealing.
Seal the wontons: Moisten the edges of each wonton wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper over to form a triangle and press the edges firmly together to seal, preventing any filling from leaking during frying.
Heat the oil: Pour enough vegetable or canola oil into a deep pan or fryer to allow the wontons to float freely. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the wontons: Carefully place the sealed wontons into the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes until the wontons turn golden brown and are crispy on all sides.
Drain and serve: Using a slotted spoon, remove the Crab Rangoon Bombs and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack.

Notes

Be careful not to overfill the wonton wrappers to prevent leakage while frying.
Use fresh lump crab meat for the best flavor; imitation crab can be used but will alter the taste.
Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature (350°F) for even frying and to avoid greasy wontons.
Serve with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping to enhance flavor.
Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness; avoid microwaving, which may make them soggy.
