Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces wonton wrappers
- 170 grams lump crab meat
- 120 grams cream cheese
- 30 grams mayonnaise
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoons lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Finely chop the green onions and set them aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat and green onions to avoid breaking up the crab too much.
Take wonton wrappers and gently press them into a mini muffin tin to create small cup shapes. Make sure the edges are slightly flared out.
Using a small spoon, fill each wonton wrapper cup with the crab mixture, about 1 tablespoon per wrapper.
Carefully place the filled wonton cups into the preheated oil, frying in batches. Fry for 1-2 minutes or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the crisps with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm and garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired.
