Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup lump crab meat, drained
2 green onions, finely sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
12 egg roll wrappers
1 beaten egg or small bowl of water (for sealing)
Vegetable oil for frying or spray oil for air frying
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
2. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Add 2 tablespoons of filling just below the center.
3. Moisten the edges with water or egg. Fold the bottom corner over filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the top corner.
4. Repeat with all wrappers and filling.
5. Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C) or preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
6. Fry egg rolls in small batches for 3-4 minutes until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels or a wire rack.
7. For air fryer: spray lightly with oil and cook 10-12 minutes, turning halfway.
8. Serve hot with dipping sauce like sweet chili or garlic soy sauce.
Notes
Use high-quality lump crab meat for the best flavor and texture.
Don’t overfill or underseal the wrappers to avoid leakage during frying.
Fry in batches to keep the oil temperature steady and achieve a crispy crust.
