Ingredients
8 Egg roll wrappers
8 oz Cream cheese, softened
1 cup Crab meat or imitation crab, shredded
2 Green onions, chopped
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Lay an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape. Add about 2 tablespoons of filling near the center.
3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Seal the top edge with a little water.
4. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C).
5. Fry egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3–5 minutes.
6. Remove and drain on paper towels.
7. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce like sweet chili or soy.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest filling.
Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature and ensure crispiness.
For a lighter version, bake at 400°F for 15–20 minutes instead of frying.
