Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup crab meat (fresh, canned, or imitation), chopped
2 green onions, finely sliced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper, to taste
10 to 12 egg roll wrappers
small bowl of water (for sealing)
vegetable oil, for frying
sweet chili sauce
soy sauce
plum sauce
Instructions
1. In a medium mixing bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, chopped crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth.
2. Lay out one egg roll wrapper like a diamond. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold the bottom point over, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with water.
3. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C). Test by dipping a piece of wrapper—if it sizzles, it’s ready.
4. Fry 3–4 egg rolls at a time for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan.
5. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Let cool slightly and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
Seal Tightly: Make sure to moisten the edges of your wrappers well to keep the rolls from opening while frying.
Don’t Overfill: Two tablespoons of filling is just right. Overfilling can lead to bursting in hot oil.
Reheat Right: For leftovers, use an air fryer or oven to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving.
