Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup imitation crab meat (or real crab), finely chopped
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the Wrapping and Frying:
- 10–12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg (beaten, for sealing)
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)
For the Dipping Sauce (optional):
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped crab, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center. Brush the edges with beaten egg, fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal well.
- Heat the Oil: Heat oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Fry 2–3 rolls at a time for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Make the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, mix sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, and soy sauce.
- Serve: Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce!
Description
These Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls are a perfect blend of creamy, savory, and crispy textures.
The rich crab-and-cream cheese filling pairs beautifully with the crunchy egg roll shell.
When dipped in a sweet chili sauce, every bite bursts with flavor — making them a must-try appetizer that everyone will love!
Tips
- Use real crab for a more authentic, rich seafood flavor.
- Seal edges well with beaten egg to prevent leaking.
- Air Fryer Option: Brush rolls lightly with oil and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Make Ahead: Assemble and freeze uncooked egg rolls. Fry from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to cook time.
- Add Sriracha or chili flakes for a spicy kick!
Correction
If your egg rolls come out greasy, the oil temperature may be too low.
Keep it steady around 350°F for best results.
If they burst open, use less filling and ensure the edges are sealed tightly.
Enjoy
Serve your Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls hot and crispy with a side of sweet chili or soy dipping sauce.
Each bite delivers creamy, crabby perfection — a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!
