Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup crab meat
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Wrapper & Frying
- 1 package egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying (about 2 cups or enough for deep frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, thoroughly mix together the cream cheese, crab meat, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and well combined.
- Fill the wrappers: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat and place a spoonful of the crab mixture in the center of the wrapper, taking care not to overfill.
- Fold and seal: Fold the sides of the egg roll wrapper over the filling, then roll tightly. Seal the edges by moistening them with a little water to ensure they stay closed while frying.
- Heat the oil: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C), suitable for frying.
- Fry the egg rolls: Carefully place the sealed egg rolls in the hot oil. Fry them, turning occasionally, until they are evenly golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-5 minutes per batch.
- Drain and serve: Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh crab meat or high-quality canned crab.
- Do not overfill the egg roll wrappers to prevent them from bursting while frying.
- Maintain a consistent oil temperature to ensure even frying and prevent soggy egg rolls.
- These egg rolls can be served with sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
- Leftovers can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
