Wonton Filling

Wonton Wrappers

Method

Prepare the Filling

  1. 1

    Mix Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Assemble the Wontons

  1. 2

    Fill Wontons

    Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the crab and cream cheese filling in the center of the wrapper.

  2. 3

    Seal Wontons

    Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little water using your finger.

  3. 4

    Shape Wontons

    Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. You can also bring the two corners of the triangle together to create a purse shape if desired.

Fry the Wontons

  1. 5

    Heat Oil

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

  2. 6

    Fry Wontons

    Carefully add a few wontons to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

  3. 7

    Drain Wontons

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the wontons from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve

  1. 8

    Enjoy!

    Serve the crab and cream cheese wontons hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour, soy sauce, or a spicy chili sauce.
