For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of white pepper or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the crabmeat mixture. To prevent the wonton wrappers from drying out while you're working, keep them covered with a damp cloth. Crab puffs are best served immediately while they are still hot and crispy. However, you can prepare the filling and assemble the puffs ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until ready to fry. Experiment with different dipping sauces to find your favorite combination.

Jan 8, 2025Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying, otherwise the wontons will absorb too much oil and become soggy.
