Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup crab meat (fresh or canned)
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
Assembly Ingredients
- 10–12 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, crab meat, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly until smooth and evenly incorporated.
- Fill the Egg Roll Wrappers: Lay out egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. Spoon a small amount of filling into the center of each wrapper, being careful not to overfill to avoid bursting during cooking.
- Roll and Seal: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to the top corner. Seal the edge with a dab of water or beaten egg to keep the filling secure.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Fry egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve Hot: Serve immediately with dipping sauces such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or your favorite Asian-inspired condiments.
Notes
- Don’t Overfill: Measure filling carefully to prevent wrappers from tearing.
- Seal Properly: Use cold water or beaten egg for a secure seal to prevent oil from entering.
- Oil Temperature: Maintain medium-high heat to ensure even cooking and reduce greasiness.
- Try Baking: For a healthier option, bake at 400°F until crisp and golden, about 15-20 minutes.
- Fresh Crab Works Best: Fresh crab meat enhances flavor but quality canned crab is an excellent substitute.
