04 - 1 garlic clove, minced
05 - 1 teaspoon soy sauce
06 - 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

13 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce

# Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, drained crab meat, sliced spring onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth and thoroughly combined.
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. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing out any air pockets and firmly sealing the edges. Optionally, bring the two corners together and seal to form a traditional wonton shape.
04 - Repeat the filling and sealing process with the remaining wrappers and filling mixture until all wontons are formed.
05 - Lightly spray the wontons with cooking spray or brush with a small amount of vegetable oil on all sides.
06 - Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes.
07 - Arrange the wontons in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other.
08 - Air fry for 7 to 9 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until golden brown and crispy.
09 - Transfer wontons to a serving plate and serve hot with dipping sauce on the side.
