How to Make Crab Rangoon Bombs
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, soy sauce, garlic powder, and sesame oil. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Assemble the Bombs
Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Brush the edges with beaten egg, then fold and pinch to form a tight ball. Make sure there are no gaps to prevent leakage.
Step 3: Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Step 4: Fry the Crab Rangoon Bombs
Carefully lower the bombs into hot oil in small batches. Fry for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 5: Serve
Serve hot with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips for Perfect Crab Rangoon Bombs
