Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 6 oz crab meat, drained and flaked
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 package of wonton wrappers
- Oil for frying
- Sweet and sour sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about one teaspoon of the crab mixture in the center of the wrapper.
- Dampen the edges of the wonton wrapper with water, then fold it over to create a triangle. Press the edges to seal tightly, ensuring there are no air pockets.
- Repeat the process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
- In a deep skillet or pot, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add the filled wontons, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the wontons from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with sweet and sour sauce for dipping, if desired.
