Ingredients
Filling
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened (Should be at room temp for easy mixing.)
- 1 cup Crab meat (real or imitation) (Real crab for flavor, imitation for affordability.)
- 3 tbsp Green onions, thinly sliced (Adds fresh flavor.)
- 1 tsp Garlic powder or minced garlic (Adjust based on preference.)
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce (Just a splash for depth.)
- 1 tsp Sugar (Optional for balancing flavors.)
- 1 tsp Black pepper (To taste.)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, optional (For added flavor.)
- 1 tsp Sesame oil, optional (Adds nuttiness.)
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper, optional (For heat.)
Wonton Wrappers
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers (Keep covered to prevent drying.)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, and black pepper until smooth.
- If the filling is runny, chill it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
Shaping
- Lay a wonton wrapper in a diamond shape.
- Add 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of the filling in the center.
- Wet the edges with water and fold the corners to the center, pinching to seal.
- Ensure there are no gaps for leaks.
Cooking
- For deep frying, heat oil to 350 F and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden.
- For air frying, preheat and cook at 360 F for 7-9 minutes, flipping halfway.
- For baking, preheat oven to 400 F, spray with oil, and bake for 12-15 minutes.
Serving
- Serve warm with dipping sauces.
Notes
Make-ahead by freezing assembled bombs. To reheat, use an oven or air fryer for best results. Common dipping sauces include sweet and sour, sweet chili, or a spicy mayo dip.
