A simple and delicious recipe for crispy cream cheese wontons filled with a creamy crab mixture, perfect for appetizers or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 6 oz (170 g) imitation crab meat, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • About 40 wonton wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying (canola or peanut oil recommended)
  • Optional: sweet chili sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese and finely chopped imitation crab meat. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add finely chopped green onions, soy sauce, and garlic powder to the mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.
  3. Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 tsp of filling in the center of each wrapper.
  4. Moisten the edges of each wrapper with water using your fingertip. Fold diagonally to form a triangle and press edges firmly to seal. Optionally pleat edges or form a purse shape.
  5. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan to about 1 inch depth. Heat over medium-high until oil reaches 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fry 5-6 wontons at a time for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, turning gently with tongs.
  7. Remove wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Let cool for a couple of minutes.
  8. Serve warm with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping.

Notes

Use water to seal wonton edges instead of egg wash to avoid sogginess. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for best results. Fry in batches to keep oil temperature steady. Can freeze assembled wontons and fry from frozen, adding extra cooking time. Baking is an option for a lighter version but with less crunch.
