Ingredients
Scale
Egg Roll Wrappers:
- 1 package
Crab Meat:
- 8 oz (fresh or canned)
Cream Cheese:
- 8 oz (softened)
Green Onions:
- 4 (chopped)
Garlic Powder:
- 1 tsp
Soy Sauce:
- 1 tbsp
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and the filling is creamy.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with a corner pointing towards you. Add about 2 tablespoons of the crab filling in the center, then fold the corner over the filling. Roll tightly while folding in the sides to seal the egg roll.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to submerge the egg rolls for that perfect crispiness.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil in batches, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, which should take about 3-4 minutes per side. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan!
- Drain and Serve: Once cooked, place the egg rolls on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can cause the egg rolls to burst while frying.
- Seal Properly: Use a bit of water along the edges of the wrapper to ensure they seal tightly.
- Keep Oil Temperature Steady: If the oil is too hot, the egg rolls may burn; too cool, and they will be greasy.
- Experiment with Dips: Try sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or even a spicy mayo for dipping.
- Make Mini Versions: For a bite-sized treat, use smaller wrappers and adjust the filling accordingly.
