Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup imitation crab meat or real crab, finely chopped
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wrapper & Cooking
- 24 square wonton wrappers
- Cooking spray or olive oil, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped crab meat, sliced green onions, soy sauce, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly blended.
- Assemble Wontons: Place one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup or arrange them on the baking sheet. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture into the center of each wrapper.
- Seal Wontons: Lightly brush the edges of each wonton wrapper with water, then pinch the corners together to form a sealed pouch or triangle shape.
- Prepare for Baking: Lightly spray the tops of the wontons with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to encourage crispness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the wontons are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the wontons to cool slightly before serving with your choice of dipping sauce.
Notes
- Serve with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or a honey-ginger dip for added flavor.
- Prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- These wontons freeze well: assemble and freeze before baking, then bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
