# What You'll Need:
→ Filling
01 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
02 - 6 ounces crab meat, fresh or imitation, finely shredded
03 - 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
06 - 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
→ Assembly
07 - 20 to 25 wonton wrappers
08 - Water, as needed for sealing the wrappers
→ Frying
09 - Vegetable oil or peanut oil, for deep frying
→ Garnish (optional)
10 - Chopped chives or cilantro
# Directions:
01 - In a medium bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with the crab meat until evenly combined. Mix in green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
02 - Place the wonton wrappers on a clean work surface. Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the crab filling into the center of each wrapper.
03 - Moisten the edges of each wrapper lightly with water. Fold each wrapper into a triangle or pouch, pressing the edges firmly to seal and eliminate air pockets.
04 - Preheat vegetable or peanut oil in a deep fryer or large heavy pot to 350°F.
05 - Fry the filled wontons in small batches for 3 to 4 minutes, turning as needed, until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
06 - Arrange the fried wontons on a platter. Garnish with chopped chives or cilantro as desired. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
