Crab Rangoon Bombs – Crispy, Creamy, and Completely Addictive.
I still remember the first time I tried Crab Rangoon at a busy street fair — the aroma of fried food in the air, the crunch of that crispy wrapper, and the creamy, savory filling that melted instantly on my tongue.
It was love at first bite.
Years later, craving that same flavor at home, I discovered the idea of Crab Rangoon Bombs — all the classic taste of traditional Crab Rangoon, but wrapped in soft biscuit dough and fried to golden perfection. The result?
Warm, crispy, cheesy, creamy little flavor bombs that are impossible to stop eating.
Whether you’re hosting game night, entertaining guests, or treating yourself to a fun homemade appetizer, these Crab Rangoon Bombs make every bite memorable.

Ingredients You’ll Need.

(Italian blend also works great.) - ½ cup cooked imitation crab, finely chopped
(Flake-style blends beautifully into the filling.) - 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- A pinch of salt and black pepper
For Frying
- Oil (canola or vegetable)

How to Make Crab Rangoon Bombs.

(Go ahead — taste a little 😋)
Flatten the Biscuit Dough.
Take each biscuit and gently flatten it with your fingers or the bottom of a glass.
Tip: Lightly flour your hands or work surface so the dough doesn’t stick.
Fill and Seal
Add 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of each dough circle.
Fold the edges up and pinch tightly to seal.
Flip seam-side down and form into a smooth ball.
Don’t overfill: Overstuffed bombs will burst in the oil.
Heat the Oil
Pour about 2 inches of oil into a deep pan.
Heat to 350°F (175°C).
A tiny piece of dough should sizzle and float.
Fry the Bombs
Fry 3–4 at a time for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.
Serve Warm
Serve with:
- Sweet chili sauce
- Soy-ginger glaze
- Spicy sriracha mayo
- Teriyaki dipping sauce
Each one is a match made in heaven.
Bonus Tips
✨ Want to bake instead?
Brush bombs lightly with oil and bake at 375°F for 12–15 minutes.
✨ Amazing reheated in the air fryer — keeps them crisp.
✨ Great for parties: prep ahead, fry fresh.
✨ Freeze un-fried bombs and fry straight from frozen (add 1–2 minutes).
