03 - 2 spring onions, finely sliced
04 - 1 garlic clove, minced
05 - 1 teaspoon soy sauce
06 - 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
07 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Wontons
09 - 24 square wonton wrappers
10 - Water for sealing

11 - Cooking spray or vegetable oil
→ Dipping Sauce
12 - 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
13 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
# Steps:
01 - In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, crab meat, spring onions, garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
02 - Place a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface. Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.
03 - Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your fingertip. Fold the wrapper diagonally in half to form a triangle, pressing firmly to remove air pockets and seal edges completely. Optionally, bring the two corners together and seal to create a traditional wonton shape.
04 - Repeat the filling and sealing process with the remaining wrappers and filling until all are complete.
05 - Lightly coat the wontons with cooking spray or brush with a small amount of vegetable oil on all surfaces.
06 - Set air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 3 minutes.
07 - Place wontons in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap or touch each other.
08 - Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 7 to 9 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until golden brown and crispy throughout.
09 - Transfer hot wontons to a serving plate and serve immediately with dipping sauce on the side.
