Equipment

  • Spoon or spatula
  • Knife
  • Frying pan or deep fryer (or baking sheet for oven method)
  • Parchment paper or plate for chilling
  • Paper towels
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients
  

Filling:

  • 1 cup crab meat (fresh or imitation), finely chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Wrappers:

  • 12–16 wonton wrappers

Binding & Optional Add-ins:

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Optional: shredded cheese, minced jalapeños, sesame seeds

Dipping Sauces:

  • Sweet chili sauce, soy-ginger dip, or spicy mayo

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix crab meat, cream cheese, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, and Worcestershire until smooth.
  • Prepare Wrappers: Lay out wonton wrappers and brush edges with beaten egg.
  • Assemble Bombs: Place 1–2 tsp filling in center. Fold into a ball or triangle, pressing edges firmly to seal. Remove air pockets.
  • Chill: Refrigerate 15–20 minutes to hold shape.
  • Cook – Frying: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry bombs in batches until golden, 5–8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Cook – Baking (Optional): Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush lightly with oil, and bake 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Serve: Arrange on a platter and serve with dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Filling Consistency: Should be creamy but firm. Adjust cream cheese if too loose.
  • Sealing: Brush edges with egg wash to prevent leaks. Chill before cooking.
  • Oil Temperature: Maintain 350°F (175°C) for frying to ensure crispiness.
  • Make-Ahead & Freezing: Assemble bombs ahead and freeze individually. Fry or bake directly from frozen.
  • Variations:
    • Spicy: Add sriracha or jalapeños.
    • Cheesy: Add shredded mozzarella or cheddar.
    • Vegetarian: Substitute crab with chopped mushrooms or tofu.
    • Mini Bombs: Use smaller wrappers for bite-sized appetizers.
    • Fusion Twist: Sprinkle sesame seeds and serve with wasabi mayo.
