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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Heat the Oil: Heat oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
4. Fry the Egg Rolls: Fry 2–3 rolls at a time for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
5. Make the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, mix sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, and soy sauce.
6. 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.
