Prepare the Filling

Mix the Filling Ingredients
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, crab meat, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well-blended and creamy.
Assemble the Wontons

Fill the Wonton Wrappers
Take a wonton wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger. Fold the wrapper over to form a triangle, pressing to seal. You can also fold the corners to the center for a different shape, ensuring a tight seal.

Repeat
Repeat the filling and sealing process until all the filling is used, placing the assembled wontons on a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking.
Fry the Wontons

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Wontons
Carefully add a few wontons at a time to the hot oil. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
