Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Imitation crab meat (or real crab meat)
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Soy sauce
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 large Egg, beaten (for sealing)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (if frying)
- 1 spray bottle Non-stick cooking spray (if baking)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking, or prepare a frying pan with vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat if frying.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, green onions, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the crab mixture in the center of the wrapper.
Lightly brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with the beaten egg. Fold the wrapper into a triangle or bring all four corners to the center and pinch tightly to seal.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling until all crab puffs are assembled.
If frying: Carefully place a few crab puffs into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
If baking: Arrange the crab puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Allow the crab puffs to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
