Mix fresh crab meat, cream cheese, Japanese mayo, soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped green onion, black pepper, salt, and grated garlic in a bowl. Set it aside for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, place 1.5 tbsp of filling in the middle of a wonton skin. Gently close the ends to the opposite corners, squeeze all the excess bubbles around the skin and add a little bit of water to close off the tip where all four corners meet.
Heat oil and fry wontons for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure to move the wontons around in the oil to ensure that every part of the wonton is golden brown.
Sprinkle salt right after frying and serve with a side of dipping sauce.
