Ingredients
24 wonton wrappers
8 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature
4 oz imitation or real lump crab meat, finely chopped
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon powdered sugar (optional)
Vegetable oil for frying
Small bowl of water (for sealing)
Instructions
Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped crab meat, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and powdered sugar until smooth and well blended.
Step 2: Lay out a few wonton wrappers on a flat, dry surface. Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the crab mixture in the center of each wrapper.
Step 3: Dip your finger in the water and lightly moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper. Bring opposite corners together and pinch at the top to seal, then pinch the remaining seams to form a star or pyramid shape, ensuring no air is trapped inside.
Step 4: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or skillet to 350°F (175°C).
Step 5: Carefully drop 4-5 wontons into the hot oil at a time. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons and place them on a wire cooling rack to drain. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Do not overcrowd the fryer as it will drop the oil temperature.
