Ingredients
- 12 pieces wonton wrappers
- 170 grams lump crab meat
- 120 grams cream cheese
- 30 grams mayonnaise
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoons lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Finely chop the green onions and set them aside.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Step 4
Gently fold in the lump crab meat and green onions to avoid breaking up the crab too much.
Step 5
Take wonton wrappers and gently press them into a mini muffin tin to create small cup shapes. Make sure the edges are slightly flared out.
Step 6
Using a small spoon, fill each wonton wrapper cup with the crab mixture, about 1 tablespoon per wrapper.
Step 7
Carefully place the filled wonton cups into the preheated oil, frying in batches. Fry for 1-2 minutes or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crisp.
Step 8
Remove the crisps with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve warm and garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired.
