What Are Crab Rangoon Bombs?
If you’re a fan of the classic crab rangoon appetizer, you’re going to love this crispy twist! Crab Rangoon Bombs take all the flavors of the traditional wonton—rich cream cheese, tender crab meat, and gooey mozzarella—and wrap them into a golden-fried, bite-sized treat. They’re crunchy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and totally addictive!
Ingredients You’ll Need
To make your own batch of Crab Rangoon Bombs, you’ll need:
-
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
-
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1 cup imitation or real crab meat, finely chopped
-
2 green onions, finely sliced
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
½ tsp soy sauce (optional)
-
Wonton wrappers or small egg roll wrappers
-
Vegetable oil for frying
-
Sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping (optional)
How to Make Crab Rangoon Bombs
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, crab meat, sliced green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix until well blended and creamy.
Step 2: Fill the Wrappers
Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold into a ball or triangle shape, and press the edges to seal tightly. Be sure there are no open seams.
Step 3: Fry to Golden Perfection
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the filled wontons in batches for 2–3 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Serve hot with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce. These little bombs are best eaten fresh and warm!
