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
- Chop all ingredients and have them ready at arm’s reach.
- In a mixing bowl, combine real crab meat, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, green onions, garlic powder, soy sauce, and sriracha or cayenne if using.
- Take a wonton wrapper and place a spoonful of the crab mixture in the center.
- Wet the edges of the wrapper and press firmly to seal. Make sure the edges are sealed well to prevent leaking during cooking.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry three to four crab bombs at a time until they are golden brown on all sides.
- Use a slotted spoon to flip and drain the bombs to avoid excess oil.
- Alternatively, brush the crab bombs with oil and bake or air fry until golden and crispy.
Serving
- Serve the crispy crab bombs hot, with a selection of dipping sauces.
Notes
For a variety of dipping sauces, consider sweet chili sauce, sriracha mixed with honey and mayo, or melted garlic butter. These bombs can also be prepared ahead of time and fried or baked just before serving.
