Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Creamy filling base; substitute with ricotta for a lighter texture.
  • 8 oz Imitation Crab Provides the signature crab flavor; real crab enhances taste but imitation is budget-friendly.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Adds depth of flavor; fresh minced garlic can provide a stronger kick.
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce Enhances umami flavor; opt for low-sodium soy sauce for less salt.
  • 2 tbsp Chopped Green Onions Adds freshness and crunch; chives can be used for a milder taste.
For the Wrapper
  • 1 pkg Wonton Wrappers Encases the filling; egg roll wrappers are great for a larger version.
  • 1 whole Egg Helps seal the wontons; omit for a vegan version, but it may affect sealing.
For Crispiness
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil Promotes a delicious crunch; use olive oil for a healthier option.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crab Rangoon Bombs
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, imitation crab, garlic powder, soy sauce, and chopped green onions. Blend until smooth.
  3. On a clean surface, lay out a wonton wrapper and spoon a generous amount of filling into the center. Fold edges to seal tightly.
  4. Brush edges with egg wash to help seal. Fold corners over filling to fully encase it.
  5. Lay the bombs on a baking sheet or air fryer basket and lightly brush with vegetable oil.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or air fry for 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
