Crab Rangoon Bombs are crispy, golden-fried wontons filled with a creamy blend of crab meat, cream cheese, and savory seasonings. Perfect as an appetizer or snack, these bite-sized treats combine the rich flavors of fresh crab and cream cheese with the satisfying crunch of fried wonton wrappers.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling

  • 1 cup lump crab meat (fresh or canned)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp soy sauce

For the Wrappers

  • 12 wonton wrappers

For Frying

  • Vegetable oil (enough for deep frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, lump crab meat, finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Assemble the bombs: Place about one tablespoon of the crab filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Lightly moisten the edges of each wrapper with water to help seal. Fold the wrapper diagonally over the filling to form a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal and prevent leaking during frying.
  3. Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure proper temperature for crisp frying.
  4. Fry the rangoon bombs: Carefully place three to four filled wontons into the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they become golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to turn and remove them.
  5. Drain and serve: Transfer the fried crab rangoon bombs to paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overfill the wonton wrappers to avoid bursting during frying.
  • Keep the oil temperature steady to ensure even frying and prevent greasiness.
  • You can substitute lump crab meat with imitation crab if desired, though fresh crab is recommended for best flavor.
  • Serve with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
  • For a healthier version, try baking at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until crispy.
