Description
These Crispy Crab Rangoon Bombs are the ultimate party appetizer—golden, crunchy on the outside and creamy, savory on the inside. They’re quick to make, fun to serve, and guaranteed to disappear fast!
Ingredients
20 wonton wrappers – thin squares, perfect for frying
8 oz cream cheese, softened – makes the filling smooth and creamy
1 cup lump crab meat or imitation crab – fresh, canned, or packaged
2 green onions, finely sliced – for freshness and a mild bite
½ teaspoon garlic powder – adds savory depth
1 teaspoon soy sauce – a splash of umami
Neutral oil (vegetable or canola) – for frying
Instructions
Mix the filling – In a medium bowl, stir together softened cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce until well combined.
Fill the wrappers – Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Dip your finger in water, run it along the edges, and fold the wrapper into a pouch or “bomb,” pressing to seal.
Heat the oil – In a deep skillet or pan, heat oil to 350°F.
Fry the bombs – Fry a few at a time until golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Drain & serve – Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain. Serve warm with dipping sauces like sweet and sour, duck sauce, or spicy sriracha mayo.
Notes
Air fryer option: Brush bombs lightly with oil and cook at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Make ahead: Assemble and refrigerate up to 6 hours ahead, or freeze before frying for later.
Protein swaps: Shrimp, shredded chicken, or even a veggie mix can be used instead of crab.
