Ingredients

  • Fresh lump crab meat or good quality canned crab meat or imitation crab meat (well-drained)
  • Full-fat cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • Square wonton wrappers (3.5 to 4 inches)
  • Green onions (scallions, finely chopped)
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Granulated sugar
  • Worcestershire sauce (non-alcoholic)
  • Sesame oil
  • Oil for frying (vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crab Meat: If using fresh or canned crab meat, thoroughly drain any excess liquid and gently flake it apart. If using imitation crab, finely chop or shred it. Set aside.
  2. Make the Creamy Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature and very soft. Add the softened cream cheese, flaked crab meat, finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, granulated sugar, non-alcoholic Worcestershire sauce, and sesame oil.
  3. Mix the Filling: Using a spatula or a sturdy spoon, gently but thoroughly mix all the ingredients together until well combined and smooth. Be careful not to overmix, but ensure the crab is evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture. Taste a small bit and adjust seasonings if desired.
  4. Prepare Your Workstation: Set up a clean, dry surface. Have your wonton wrappers ready, a small bowl of water for sealing, and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack ready for the assembled bombs.
  5. Shape the Crab Rangoon Bombs: Take one wonton wrapper and lay it flat on your workstation in a diamond shape. Place a generous tablespoon of the creamy crab filling right in the center of the wrapper.
  6. Seal the Bombs: Dip your finger in the small bowl of water and lightly moisten all four edges of the wonton wrapper. Bring two opposite corners of the wrapper together over the filling and pinch them to seal. Then, bring the remaining two opposite corners up to meet the first two, pinching them all together at the top to form a tight little purse or a 'bomb' shape.
  7. Prepare for Frying: Pour enough neutral oil into a deep pot or Dutch oven to reach a depth of about 2-3 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  8. Fry the Crab Rangoon Bombs: Carefully lower 3-4 crab rangoon bombs into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are golden brown and beautifully crispy on all sides.
  9. Drain and Serve: Once golden and crispy, remove the bombs from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Don't overfill the wrappers to maintain a good seal, and fry in small batches to keep the oil temperature consistent.
