Ingredients
- 8 ounces Lump crab meat
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 20 sheets Wonton wrappers
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 2
Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Place a heaping teaspoon of the crab mixture in the center of the wrapper.
Step 3
Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with beaten egg to help seal it.
Step 4
Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal securely. For added sealing, you can fold or pinch the edges together.
Step 5
Repeat the process with the remaining wonton wrappers and crab mixture.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to fully submerge the crab puffs.
Step 7
Carefully place a few crab puffs in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, remove the crab puffs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat frying with the remaining crab puffs.
Step 10
Serve the crunchy crab puffs warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or spicy mayo.
