Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Lump crab meat
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 20 sheets Wonton wrappers
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Mix until well incorporated.
Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Place a heaping teaspoon of the crab mixture in the center of the wrapper.
Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with beaten egg to help seal it.
Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal securely. For added sealing, you can fold or pinch the edges together.
Repeat the process with the remaining wonton wrappers and crab mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to fully submerge the crab puffs.
Carefully place a few crab puffs in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the crab puffs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat frying with the remaining crab puffs.
Serve the crunchy crab puffs warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or spicy mayo.
