Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup crab meat (fresh or imitation), chopped
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Wrapper & Frying
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- Oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix together the softened cream cheese, chopped crab meat, finely sliced green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Rangoon Bombs: Place about 1 tablespoon of the prepared filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Carefully gather the edges of the wrapper and pinch them together tightly to seal the filling inside, forming a compact ball shape.
- Heat the oil: Pour oil into a deep frying pan or pot and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature for frying.
- Fry the Rangoon Bombs: Fry the bombs in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, cooking each batch for about 2 to 3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Drain and serve: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried Rangoon bombs from the oil, and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve them warm with your choice of sweet chili sauce or soy dipping sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is at the right temperature (350°F) before frying to achieve perfect crispiness and avoid greasy Rangoon bombs.
- You can substitute imitation crab meat with fresh crab for a more authentic flavor.
- Make sure to pinch the wonton wrappers tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during frying.
- These can be made ahead and frozen before frying; simply fry from frozen, adding a minute or two extra to the cooking time.
- Serve with a variety of dipping sauces such as sweet chili, soy sauce, or spicy mustard to complement the flavors.
