How to Make Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls
1. Prepare the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is smooth and creamy. You want a texture that holds together but is still soft enough to spread easily.
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you (like a diamond). Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling into the center.
Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly toward the top corner. Brush the edge with beaten egg to seal. Repeat until all rolls are assembled.
3. Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Test by dropping a small piece of wrapper — it should sizzle instantly.
4. Fry Until Golden
Carefully lower the rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and crisp. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces — sweet chili for a touch of heat, or a creamy sriracha mayo for extra indulgence.
🧀 Tips for Perfect Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls
Seal them well: Use the egg wash generously to prevent filling leaks during frying.
Don’t overcrowd the pan: Too many rolls at once will drop the oil temperature and make them soggy.
Air fryer option: For a lighter version, brush with oil and air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Make ahead: Prepare and freeze the rolls before frying. Cook straight from frozen when ready to serve.
