- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and crab meat. Stir in the chopped green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the Wonton Wrappers: Lay the wonton wrappers flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the crab mixture into the center of each wrapper.
