1. Prepare the Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crab meat, shredded cheese (if using), green onion, garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Mix until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

2. Assemble the Bombs

1. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface.
2. Place about 1 teaspoon of the crab mixture in the center of each wrapper.
3. Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg to help seal.
4. Bring all four corners of the wrapper together over the filling, pinching the edges tightly to form a “bomb” shape. Press gently to seal completely.
5. Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds or seasoning on top for added flavor and flair.

3. Cook the Bombs

• Baking Method:
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the assembled bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  3. Lightly brush the tops with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.
  4. Bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
• Frying Method:
  1. Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Fry the bombs in batches for 2–3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

4. Serve and Enjoy

1. Arrange the hot Crab Bombs on a serving platter.
2. Serve with sweet chili sauce, duck sauce, or sriracha mayo for dipping.
3. Enjoy every bite of these cheesy, crunchy, and flavorful appetizers!
4. Perfect as a standalone snack or paired with a side salad or soup for a complete meal.

Tips for Success

• • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh green onions and high-quality crab meat make a noticeable difference in flavor.
  • Switch Proteins: Substitute crab with cooked shrimp, chicken, or even tofu for variety.

• Make Ahead: Assemble the bombs ahead of time, freeze them on a baking sheet, and store in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Bake or fry directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
• Store Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
