Description
Deliciously crispy crab wontons filled with a creamy mixture, perfect for dipping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz. cream cheese (room temperature)
- 6 oz. crab meat (fresh, canned, or imitation, finely diced)
- 1 green onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp soy sauce
- 20 wonton wrappers
- oil (for deep frying)
- sweet and sour sauce or sweet chili sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, crab meat, green onion, sugar, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix well.
- Working quickly, spoon 1 tbsp of the filling in the middle of a wonton wrapper. Dab a bit of water on the outer edges of the wrapper and fold two opposite ends together.
- Fold the other two ends to create a small parcel, pinching the edges together to seal the wonton tightly. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
- Meanwhile, heat 3 inches of cooking oil in a pot to 350°F. Fry a single layer of wontons at a time for 2-3 minutes, turning as needed, until evenly golden brown.
- Remove wontons from the oil with a strainer or slotted spoon, transferring the fried wontons to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining wontons, then serve with sweet and sour sauce or sweet chili sauce.
Notes
- These wontons can be made ahead and frozen before frying.
- Fry them in batches to ensure they cook evenly.
