Ingredients

Filling

8 oz cream cheese, softened
6 oz crab meat, drained and shredded
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp soy sauce

For Wrapping & Frying

1 package wonton wrappers (about 30–40 pieces)
1 cup vegetable oil, for frying

For Serving

Sweet and sour sauce or sweet chili sauce

Instructions

Make the filling
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Fill the wontons
Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the crab mixture to the center.
Seal
Lightly moisten the edges with water. Fold diagonally into a triangle and press to seal.
Optional: Crimp edges with a fork or bring corners together for a classic rangoon shape.
Repeat
Continue filling and sealing until all wrappers are used.
Fry
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Drain
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve
Serve warm with sweet and sour sauce or sweet chili sauce.

Additional Notes

Shortcut Tip: Imitation crab works great and is budget-friendly.
Extra Flavor: Add a pinch of white pepper or a dash of sesame oil.
Baking Option: Brush with oil and bake at 400°F (205°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping once.

Storage & Meal Prep

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days.
Reheat in an air fryer or oven for best crispiness.
Unfried, filled wontons can be frozen and fried straight from frozen.

Variations

Spicy: Add chili flakes or sriracha to the filling.
Cheese Lover’s: Mix in a little shredded mozzarella.
Air Fryer: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
