Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 6 oz crab meat, finely chopped and drained
  • 0.25 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 tsp soy sauce
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp granulated sugar
  • 0.25 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 6 oz wonton wrappers about 24 square wrappers
  • 2 tbsp water for sealing wrappers
  • 2 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 0.5 cup sweet chili sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Stir cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Fold in crab, green onions, Worcestershire, soy, garlic, sugar, salt, pepper, and sesame oil.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F over medium heat.
  • Set out wonton wrappers. Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
  • Brush wrapper edges lightly with water. Press out air and pinch corners together to form a sealed pouch or star shape.
  • Fry batches of 5–6 wontons until crisp and golden, 2–3 minutes, turning once for even color.
  • Transfer to a wire rack or paper towels to drain. Rest 3 minutes to cool slightly.
  • Serve warm with sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Notes

For a lighter option, air-fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway and misting with oil. To make ahead, assemble and freeze on a sheet tray until solid, then store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months; fry from frozen, adding a minute or two.
