Description

A crispy twist on Crab Rangoon! These golden egg rolls are filled with a creamy blend of crab, cream cheese, and seasonings. Perfectly crunchy and savory, they’re great with sweet chili or your favorite dip!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (8-ounce) boxes cream cheese (softened for easy mixing)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (adds umami depth)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for savory flavor)
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder (enhances the overall taste)
  • 3 green onions, chopped (for freshness and a mild onion flavor)
  • 1 lb fresh white crabmeat, flaked or diced (use imitation crab for a budget-friendly option)
  • 10 egg roll wrappers (found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores)
  • Vegetable oil for frying (enough to fill a pot or deep skillet about 2 inches deep)

Instructions

Prepare the Filling:

  • In a food processor, pulse the cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and green onions several times until well mixed.
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl and gently stir in the flaked crab meat until evenly combined.

 Assemble the Egg Rolls:

  • Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you.
  • Place about 3 rounded tablespoons of the crab mixture in the center of the wrapper, forming a short horizontal lump.
  • Fold the corner closest to you up and over the filling, tucking it in gently.
  • Fold in the left and right corners toward the center, then roll the wrapper tightly.
  • Use a small amount of water to seal the tip of the wrapper. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

 Heat the Oil:

  • In a heavy stockpot or deep skillet, heat vegetable oil to 365°F (185°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.

 Fry the Egg Rolls:

  • Fry the egg rolls 2-3 at a time (depending on the size of your pan) for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Allow the oil to return to temperature between batches.
  • Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

 Serve:

  • Serve the egg rolls warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or duck sauce.

Notes

  • For a glossy finish, brush the egg rolls with a bit of beaten egg before frying.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, mix the filling by hand until smooth.
  • Always taste and adjust the seasoning of the filling before assembling the egg rolls.
