Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup crab meat (fresh or canned, drained and flaked)
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package egg roll wrappers (about 20 wrappers)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Sweet and sour sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and crab meat. Use a fork to mix until well blended and smooth.
- Add the finely chopped green onions to the mixture for added crunch and flavor.
- Pour in the Worcestershire sauce to enhance the savory depth of the filling.
- Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you (diamond shape).
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the crab filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water to help seal it.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly towards the top corner. Press edges to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- In a large, deep skillet or pot, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom by about 2 inches. Heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place a few egg rolls in the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove cooked egg rolls and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Repeat frying process with remaining egg rolls, adjusting heat as needed to maintain oil temperature.
- Arrange the egg rolls on a serving platter.
- Serve with sweet and sour sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
- Enjoy your homemade Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls while they are still warm!
Notes
- For a healthier option, you can bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Feel free to customize the filling by adding other ingredients like shredded carrots or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.
