Ingredients

• 1 cup (chopped) Imitation crab
• 8 ounces (softened) Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Green onion
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 1 large (beaten, for sealing) Egg
• 2 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped imitation crab, green onion, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 2

Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the crab filling in the center of each wrapper.

Step 3

Brush the edges of each wonton wrapper with the beaten egg to act as glue.

Step 4

Fold the wrappers diagonally to form a triangle, and then bring the two opposite corners together, pinching to seal. Ensure the edges are tightly sealed to prevent filling leakage.

Step 5

In a medium-sized pot or deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully monitor the oil temperature to avoid overheating.

Step 6

Working in small batches, gently drop the filled wontons into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through to ensure even frying.

Step 7

Remove the fried wontons from the oil using a slotted spoon, and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining wontons.

Step 9

Serve warm with sweet chili sauce or soy dipping sauce on the side.
