1
Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, softened cream cheese, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2
Fill the Wontons
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture into the center of the wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it over to form a triangle, and press the edges tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3
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).
4
Fry the Wontons
Carefully add the filled wontons to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

5
Serve
Arrange the crispy wontons on a serving platter and serve warm with sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping.
