Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Egg roll wrappers
  • Small bowl (for sealing the wrappers)
  • Frying pan or deep fryer
  • Tongs or slotted spoon
  • Paper towels

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 6 oz lump crab meat or imitation crab chopped
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg beaten, for sealing the wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing towards you (like a diamond shape). Spoon 2 tablespoons of the crab mixture into the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it tightly towards the top corner. Brush the top corner with a bit of the beaten egg to seal the roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Heat the Oil: In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You can check the oil’s temperature by dropping a small piece of wrapper into the oil – if it sizzles, it’s ready.
  • Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully place a few egg rolls into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining egg rolls.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot with sweet and sour sauce, plum sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce. These egg rolls are best enjoyed fresh and crispy!
