Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Cooked crab meat (fresh, canned, or imitation)
- 2 tbsp Green onions (finely chopped)
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Soy sauce
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 large Egg (beaten, for sealing)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Sweet chili sauce (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cooked crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly until smooth and evenly combined.
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the crab mixture in the center of each wrapper.
Using your finger or a small brush, lightly brush the edges of a wrapper with the beaten egg. Fold the wrapper diagonally in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Optionally, bring the two opposite points of the triangle together and seal with a dab of egg for a more decorative shape.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling until all wontons are prepared.
In a large saucepan or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Test the oil by dropping a small piece of wonton wrapper into it—if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
Carefully lower a few wontons into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried wontons with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining wontons.
Serve warm with sweet chili sauce (optional) for dipping. Enjoy!
