Crab Rangoon Bombs

Crab Rangoon Bombs

Crab Rangoon Bombs are a fun and crispy twist on the classic takeout favorite. Creamy cream cheese and tender crab meat are wrapped in wonton wrappers, then fried until golden and crunchy. These bite-sized snacks are perfect for parties, game nights, or whenever you’re craving something rich, crispy, and satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 wonton wrappers

  • 1 cup lump crab meat (fresh or canned, drained well)

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 2 green onions, finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  • Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.

  • Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold diagonally to form a triangle and press firmly to seal.

  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  • Fry the Crab Rangoon Bombs in small batches (3–4 at a time) for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  • Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Seal the edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking while frying.

  • Do not overcrowd the pan—frying in small batches keeps the oil hot and ensures crispiness.

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of white pepper or a drop of sesame oil to the filling.

  • These pair perfectly with sweet chili sauce, duck sauce, or soy sauce for dipping.

  • For a lighter option, they can also be air-fried or baked, though frying gives the best crunch.
