Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
Wonton Wrappers: These little squares create a crunchy shell that holds all the goodness inside; buy fresh for best results.
Cream Cheese: Choose full-fat cream cheese for a rich and creamy filling that melts beautifully.
Crab Meat: Use lump crab meat for a luxurious texture and flavor; imitation crab works in a pinch but lacks depth.
Green Onions: Freshly chopped green onions add a bright burst of flavor and color to your filling.
Garlic Powder: A sprinkle elevates the flavors; fresh garlic can be used but may overpower the delicate crab.
Soy Sauce: This adds umami depth; opt for low-sodium to keep flavors balanced without overwhelming saltiness.
Oil for Frying: Vegetable oil works best here; it has a high smoke point to ensure perfectly crisp bombs.

Prepare Your Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with crab meat and chopped green onions. Stir until smooth and well-blended for an irresistible filling.
Add Flavor Enhancements: Sprinkle garlic powder and drizzle soy sauce into your mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure every bite is packed with flavor that will leave everyone wanting more.
Assemble Your Bombs: Take a wonton wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center. Moisten the edges with water and fold diagonally to create a triangle. Press firmly to seal.
Heat Up That Oil: In a deep pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Test by dropping in a small piece of wonton; if it sizzles immediately, you’re ready.
