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

  • 12 wonton wrappers

For Frying

  • 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 and the filling is smooth and well blended.
  2. Assemble the rangoon bombs: Take each wonton wrapper and place about one tablespoon of the crab filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water to help seal them. Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal tightly, ensuring no filling escapes during frying.
  3. Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or frying pan to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C), ideal for deep frying.
  4. Fry the bombs: Carefully place the rangoon bombs into the hot oil in batches of three to four to avoid overcrowding. Fry each side for approximately 3 to 4 minutes, turning as needed, until the wrappers turn golden brown and crispy. Remove the cooked bombs with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
  • Use fresh or canned lump crab meat based on availability.
  • Be careful not to overfill the wonton wrappers to prevent leaking.
  • Maintain oil temperature for even frying and crispy texture.
  • Serve warm with sweet chili sauce or soy dipping sauce for best taste.
