Instructions

In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of filling to the center.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it into a triangle or pinch all corners together to form a pouch. Press the edges to seal.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until hot (about 350°F/175°C).
Fry the wontons in batches for 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm with sweet and sour sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

You can bake or air fry these instead of deep frying for a lighter version.
Make sure to seal the edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking.
Best served fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer.
