01 Step

Recipe View Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan or deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Ensure you have enough oil for the wontons to float freely. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the softened cream cheese, chopped crabmeat, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and finely chopped green onions until a smooth and well-mixed filling is achieved. (10 minutes)

03 Step

Recipe View Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Avoid overfilling to prevent leakage during frying. (15 minutes)

Recipe View In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg whites. Using your finger or a pastry brush, spread the egg white over two adjacent edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper into a triangle, ensuring the filling is fully enclosed. Press firmly along all edges to create a tight seal, preventing the filling from escaping during frying. (10 minutes)

05 Step

Recipe View Carefully lower the filled wontons into the hot oil in small batches, being mindful not to overcrowd the pan. Deep fry the wontons until they turn a beautiful golden brown and the filling is heated through, approximately 2 to 4 minutes per batch. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the fried wontons from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs, and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce or a spicy chili sauce. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of white pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the cream cheese filling.
If using real crabmeat, be sure to pick through it carefully to remove any shell fragments.
Wonton wrappers can dry out quickly, so keep them covered with a damp cloth while you are working.
For a baked version, brush the filled wontons with melted butter or oil and bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

    I used real crabmeat and they were amazing! A bit more work, but totally worth it.
