Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 8 oz Crab Meat (imitation or real, well-drained and flaked)
- 2 Green Onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 pinch Granulated Sugar
- Wonton Wrappers
- Oil for Frying/Baking (canola, vegetable, or peanut oil for frying; olive oil or avocado oil for baking)
Instructions
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened by letting it sit at room temperature for about an hour.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, flaked crab meat, finely chopped green onions, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and granulated sugar.
- Gently mix everything together with a spatula until well combined, but do not overmix.
- Lay out one wonton wrapper on a clean surface, keeping the rest covered with a damp paper towel.
- Scoop about one teaspoon of the crab Rangoon filling into the center of the wonton wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water to create a seal.
- Bring two opposite corners of the wrapper up over the filling and pinch them together firmly.
- Bring the other two corners up to meet the first two and pinch all four corners together at the top.
- Gently gather and pinch the sides of the wrapper towards the center to create a rounded shape, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- For frying, heat about 2-3 inches of neutral oil in a pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully lower 4-5 Rangoon bombs into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- For baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), arrange bombs on a baking sheet, brush with oil, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- For air frying, preheat to 375°F (190°C), spray bombs with cooking oil, and air fry for 6-8 minutes until golden and crispy.
