Crab Rangoon Bombs

Crab Rangoon Bombs are a fun, bite-sized twist on the classic Crab Rangoon appetizer. They feature a crispy, golden shell filled with a creamy mixture of crab, cream cheese, and seasonings. Here’s how you can make them:

Ingredients:

• For the Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup imitation crab meat or real crab meat, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

• For the Bombs:

  • 1 package of wonton wrappers (about 40 wrappers)
  • 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

• For the Dipping Sauce (optional):

  • Sweet chili sauce
  • Soy sauce

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crab Rangoon Filling:

   • In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

2. Assemble the Crab Rangoon Bombs:

   • Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Put about 1 teaspoon of the crab filling in the center of the wrapper.
   • Carefully fold the edges of the wonton wrapper up around the filling, pinching the edges to seal it into a little pouch or bomb shape. You can use a bit of water on the edges of the wrapper to help seal it if necessary.
   • Repeat this process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.

3. Fry the Crab Rangoon Bombs:

   • Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer over medium-high heat (about 350°F/175°C). You want enough oil to submerge the bombs while frying.
   • Once the oil is hot, carefully drop a few Crab Rangoon Bombs into the oil at a time. Don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through for even cooking.
   • Use a slotted spoon to remove the bombs and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

4. Serve:

   • Serve your Crab Rangoon Bombs hot with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping.

Enjoy your crispy, creamy Crab Rangoon Bombs! They’re sure to be a hit as a snack or appetizer.
