Ingredients:
For the Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup crab meat, chopped
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For Wrapping
- 8 to 10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for sealing)
- Oil for frying
For Serving
- Sweet chili sauce
- Soy sauce or a creamy dip (optional)
Method:
- Prepare the Filling
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce (if using), and black pepper until smooth and well combined. - Assemble the Egg Rolls
Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Brush the top corner with egg wash to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. - Fry Until Golden
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2 to 3 minutes, turning as needed, until golden brown and crisp. - Drain and Cool
Remove the egg rolls and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving so the filling sets and stays creamy inside.
Serving Tip
Serve hot with sweet chili sauce for the perfect balance of creamy filling, crispy wrapper, and a touch of sweetness. You can also pair with soy sauce or a creamy dipping sauce for variety.
