Ingredients
  

For the Crab Rangoon Filling
  • 8 oz Cream cheese softened
  • 8 oz Imitation crab meat finely chopped or shredded
  • 2 tbsp Green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
For Assembly
  • 24-30 count Wonton wrappers square type
  • 1/4 cup Water for sealing
For Serving (Optional)
  • 1/2 cup Sweet chili sauce

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Small Bowl

Method
 

Prepare the Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, finely chopped imitation crab meat, sliced green onions, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and creamy.
Assemble the Bombs
  1. Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the crab rangoon filling in the center of the wrapper. Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper.
  2. Carefully bring all four corners of the wrapper up towards the center over the filling. Pinch and pleat the edges together tightly to seal the filling inside, forming a small "bomb" or purse shape. Ensure there are no open seams to prevent filling from escaping during cooking. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Air Fry the Bombs
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). If your air fryer requires it, lightly grease the basket with cooking spray.
  2. Arrange the crab rangoon bombs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching to allow for even cooking. You will likely need to cook them in batches.
  3. Air fry for 8-12 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through cooking (around 4-6 minutes) for even browning.
Serve
  1. Carefully remove the cooked crab rangoon bombs from the air fryer. Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce for dipping, if desired.

Notes

For extra crispy bombs, you can lightly brush or spray each bomb with a neutral oil (like avocado or vegetable oil) before air frying. Cooked crab rangoon bombs are best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until crispy again.
