Ingredients
  

  • 20 wonton wrappers For wrapping the filling
  • 2.2 cups vegetable oil For frying or any neutral-tasting oil
Filling:
  • 0.83 cup imitation crab meat Chopped into 1-inch pieces or use canned crab meat drained
  • 0.55 cup cream cheese Softened for a creamy filling
  • 2.2 tablespoons green onion Finely chopped
  • 1.1 teaspoon soy sauce Regular or light for seasoning
  • 1.1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Adds umami flavor
  • 0.55 teaspoon garlic powder For flavor depth
  • 0.55 teaspoon white sugar For slight sweetness
  • 0.27 teaspoon black pepper For a bit of spice
Serve with:
  • Sweet Thai chili sauce For dipping
  • Plum sauce For dipping

Method
 

  1. Combine the imitation crab meat, softened cream cheese, green onion, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, sugar, and black pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Place a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Add 2 teaspoons of the filling in the center. Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water.
  3. Pinch together two opposite corners of the wrapper, then seal the other corners to form a pocket. Press the edges firmly to ensure it's sealed. Repeat for the remaining filling.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat to about 325°F. Fry the filled wontons in batches, 6-7 pieces at a time, until golden and crispy, for 1.5 to 2 minutes. Flip halfway through.
  5. Remove the fried wontons and let them drain on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate. Let them cool for a moment before serving with the dipping sauce of your choice.
