Ingredients

Scale

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

Assembly & Frying

  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • Vegetable oil (for 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 into a uniform filling.
  2. Assemble the Rangoon Bombs: Take one wonton wrapper and place about one tablespoon of the crab filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water to help seal. Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal tightly, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed.
  3. Heat the oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, pour enough vegetable oil to submerge the Rangoon Bombs and heat over medium-high heat until the oil temperature reaches 350°F (175°C). This temperature ensures a crispy, golden exterior without absorbing too much oil.
  4. Fry the Crab Rangoon Bombs: Carefully place three to four bombs in the hot oil at a time, frying them for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to turn them evenly.
  5. Drain and serve: Remove the fried bombs from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and a smoother filling texture.
  • Use fresh or canned lump crab meat depending on availability; fresh offers more flavor but canned works well too.
  • Be careful not to overfill the wonton wrappers to prevent them from bursting during frying.
  • Maintain the oil temperature to avoid oily or undercooked bombs; use a thermometer for accuracy.
  • Serve immediately for the best crispiness and flavor.
