Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh crab meat
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 20 pieces wonton wrappers
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, finely chopped green onions, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg to create an egg wash. Use a pastry brush or your fingers to lightly coat the edges of each wonton wrapper with the egg wash.
Fold each wonton wrapper into a triangle by bringing two opposite corners together and pressing the edges tightly to seal. Make sure there are no air pockets around the filling.
In a deep saucepan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.
Carefully lower a few wontons into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the crab puffs from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process for the remaining wontons.
Serve the Pacific Crab Puffs warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili or soy-based sauce.
