Ingredients (Makes 10–12 Bombs)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup cooked crab meat or imitation crab, finely chopped
2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Optional: egg roll wrappers or biscuit dough for wrapping
Oil for frying or cooking spray for baking
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped crab meat, green onions, soy sauce, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
Scoop about a tablespoon of the filling and place it in the center of your dough wrapper of choice. Wrap or seal tightly into a ball or pouch, making sure edges are secure.
If frying, heat oil in a deep skillet and fry each bomb until golden brown and crispy.
If baking, place bombs on a lined baking sheet, spray with cooking spray, and bake at 375°F (190°C) until golden and puffed, about 12–15 minutes. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce or soy dipping sauce.
How to Make Crab Rangoon Bombs
Start by preparing the filling—blend cream cheese, crab, green onions, and seasonings until creamy.
Use premade wrappers or dough to encase the filling, shaping each into a sealed bundle. You can deep-fry for that classic crispy bite, or bake them if you prefer a lighter option.
Either way, the result is a molten, creamy center surrounded by a golden crust.
Variations
Switch up the protein by using shrimp or even canned tuna. Add a dash of sriracha or chili flakes for heat, or include finely chopped bell pepper for extra crunch and color.
For a vegetarian version, omit the crab and stir in sautéed mushrooms or spinach. Air-frying is also a great alternative for a crispy texture with less oil.
Tips
Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for smooth mixing. Don’t overfill or the bombs may burst while cooking.
If baking, brush the tops with a bit of butter or egg wash for an extra golden finish. These can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to cook, making them perfect for entertaining.
Conclusion
Crab Rangoon Bombs are the kind of irresistible snack you’ll find yourself craving again and again.
Crispy, creamy, and packed with flavor, they’re easy to prepare and even easier to enjoy. Whether you’re making them for a quick treat or serving them to friends, these little flavor bombs are always a hit.
