Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces Real Crab Meat Fresh or canned, avoid imitation for best flavor
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese Softened for easy mixing
- 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella For added creaminess
- 1/4 cup Green Onions Chopped for a fresh crunch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Essential for flavor
- 1 teaspoon Soy Sauce For a hint of saltiness
- 12-16 wrappers Wonton Wrappers Can substitute with egg roll wrappers
- to taste Sriracha or Cayenne Optional, add for heat
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine real crab meat, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix well until combined.
- Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the crab mixture in the center of each wrapper.
- Wet the edges of the wonton wrappers with water and fold to seal, ensuring they are tightly closed to prevent filling from leaking.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully add the crab bombs to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the crab bombs for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the crab bombs from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces.
Notes
For extra crunch, consider coating the crab bombs in panko before frying. You can also bake or air fry them by brushing with oil instead of deep frying.
