Crab Rangoon Bombs are crispy, golden-fried appetizers filled with a creamy blend of crab meat and cream cheese wrapped in wonton wrappers. Perfect as a savory snack or party treat, these bite-sized delights offer a satisfying combination of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 cup cooked crab meat, shredded
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Wrappers

  • 20 wonton wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 cups)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded crab meat, softened cream cheese, finely chopped green onion (if using), garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
  2. Fill the wontons: Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the crab mixture into the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold and seal the edges tightly to form a small packet or ball to prevent filling from escaping during frying.
  3. Heat oil for frying: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or pot to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C), or until a small piece of wonton wrapper sizzles and turns golden quickly.
  4. Fry the Crab Rangoon Bombs: Carefully add the filled wontons to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the wrappers are crisp and golden brown.
  5. Drain and serve: Remove the fried Crab Rangoon Bombs with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
  • Seal the wontons tightly to prevent oil from seeping in during frying.
  • You can add finely chopped water chestnuts for extra crunch in the filling.
  • Use fresh crab meat for best flavor, or substitute with canned crab if needed.
  • Adjust frying time depending on your equipment and size of bombs to avoid burning.
