Ingredients (Makes 10–12 Bombs):
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup cooked crab meat or imitation crab, finely chopped
2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
10–12 wonton wrappers
1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Sweet and sour sauce or dipping sauce of choice (optional
Crab Rangoon Bombs Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Filling:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped crab meat, green onions, soy sauce, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated and creamy.
2️⃣ Assemble the Bombs:
Lay the wonton wrappers flat on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the crab mixture in the center of each wrapper.
Brush the edges with the beaten egg, then fold each wrapper into a triangle and press firmly to seal. For a “bomb” shape, fold in the corners to form a small pouch or bundle. Make sure all edges are sealed to prevent leaks while frying.
3️⃣ Fry the Bombs:
Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop in a small piece of wonton wrapper—it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully add the Rangoon bombs in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side, flipping as needed, until golden brown and crispy.
4️⃣ Drain and Serve:
Transfer the fried bombs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce—sweet and sour, soy sauce, or even spicy mayo for a flavorful finish!
Pro Tips for the Perfect Crab Rangoon Bombs:
Seal them well: A tight seal prevents cream cheese leaks during frying.
Keep the wrappers moist: Cover unused wonton wrappers with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
Use a thermometer: Aim for oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) for even frying.

FAQ About Crab Rangoon Bombs:
Can I air fry them instead of deep frying?
Yes! Air fry at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Lightly spray with oil for best crispiness.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely. Assemble them ahead and refrigerate (uncooked) for a few hours. Fry just before serving for maximum crunch.
Can I use real crab meat?
Definitely. Fresh crab adds a richer flavor, but imitation crab works great too and is more budget-friendly.
Common Problems and Fixes:
Filling leaks out while frying?
Make sure to seal the edges tightly and avoid overfilling.
Wrappers splitting?
They may be too dry. Keep them covered until use and don’t overhandle them.
Flavor Variations You Can Try:
Spicy Crab Rangoon Bombs: Add a dash of sriracha or chopped jalapeño to the filling.
Bacon Rangoon Bombs: Mix in some crispy bacon bits for a smoky twist.
Sweet Rangoon Bombs: Use a pineapple cream cheese filling for a sweet-savory flavor bomb!
