Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 cup Crab Meat, shredded (lump or imitation)
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp Non-Alcoholic Worcestershire Sauce
- Wonton Wrappers
- White Pepper, to taste
- Oil for Frying/Baking (canola, vegetable, peanut, avocado, or olive oil)
- Optional: Sriracha or chili garlic sauce, to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine your softened cream cheese, shredded crab meat, garlic powder, onion powder, low-sodium soy sauce, and non-alcoholic Worcestershire sauce. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Scoop about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the crab mixture onto the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place your generous dollop of filling in the center. Lightly moisten all four edges of the wrapper with water.
- Gather the corners of the wrapper up and over the filling, meeting them in the center. Pinch and pleat the wrapper around the filling until it is completely enclosed.
- Place the formed bomb on a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
- For deep frying, heat oil in a deep pot to 350-375°F (175-190°C). Fry 3-4 bombs for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- For air frying, preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C), spray bombs with cooking spray, and air fry for 8-12 minutes until golden brown.
- For baking, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), place bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spray with oil, and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
