Description
A delicious fusion appetizer featuring a creamy crab and cream cheese filling wrapped in a perfectly crispy egg roll shell.
Ingredients
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup crab meat (fresh, canned, or imitation), finely chopped
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp soy sauce
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
10–12 egg roll wrappers
Oil for frying
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the softened cream cheese, chopped crab, green onions, garlic powder, soy sauce, and Worcestershire in a bowl until smooth.
Step 2: Lay an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape and place 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the center.
Step 3: Fold the bottom corner up, then tuck in the sides like an envelope.
Step 4: Wet the top edge with water and roll tightly to seal the egg roll.
Step 5: Heat oil to 350°F in a heavy pot and fry the rolls in batches for 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
Step 6: Drain on paper towels and serve warm with dipping sauce.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling. Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent leaks during frying.
