Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (chopped) Imitation crab
- 8 ounces (softened) Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Green onion
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 large (beaten, for sealing) Egg
- 2 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped imitation crab, green onion, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the crab filling in the center of each wrapper.
Brush the edges of each wonton wrapper with the beaten egg to act as glue.
Fold the wrappers diagonally to form a triangle, and then bring the two opposite corners together, pinching to seal. Ensure the edges are tightly sealed to prevent filling leakage.
In a medium-sized pot or deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully monitor the oil temperature to avoid overheating.
Working in small batches, gently drop the filled wontons into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through to ensure even frying.
Remove the fried wontons from the oil using a slotted spoon, and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining wontons.
Serve warm with sweet chili sauce or soy dipping sauce on the side.
