Directions
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Place a heaping teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it in half diagonally to create a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal.
- In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the wontons to the hot oil, a few at a time, and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
