Crab Rangoon Bombs
Ingredients:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup cooked crab meat (or imitation crab, chopped)
2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
10-12 wonton wrappers
1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)
Sweet and sour sauce or dipping sauce of choice (optional)
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cooked crab meat, chopped green onions, soy sauce, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until well combined.
Lay the wonton wrappers flat on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the crab and cream cheese mixture in the center of each wrapper.
Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with the beaten egg to help seal it. Fold the wrapper into a triangle, then press the edges tightly to seal. You can also fold the corners inwards to form a little pouch if you prefer.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat. Test the temperature by dropping a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil—if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
Carefully add the prepared crab Rangoon bombs to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove the crab Rangoon bombs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, like sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce, for added flavor.
