Preparation

  • In a bowl, mix cream cheese, cooked crab meat, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  • Place a spoonful of the crab mixture in the center of each wonton.
  • Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and fold it over to create a triangle, pressing out as much air as possible.

Cooking

  • Carefully add a few wontons to the hot oil, frying them until they are golden brown, around 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Notes

For extra crispy wontons, ensure the oil is hot enough before frying. You can also bake them at 375°F for a healthier version.
