How to Make Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls
Step 1: Make the Filling
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy. The filling should be thick but spreadable.
Step 2: Fill and Roll
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape). Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the crab mixture into the center. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly.
Seal the edge with a dab of water or a light egg wash so it stays closed while frying.
Step 3: Fry Until Golden
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
💡 Tip: For a lighter version, you can bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway through — or air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 10–12 minutes.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!
Serve the rolls hot with sweet chili sauce, duck sauce, or soy sauce for dipping. The combination of crispy wrapper and creamy filling is pure magic.
🔥 Pro Tips and Variations
-
Use real crab meat for the best flavor, but imitation crab (surimi) works great for a budget-friendly option.
-
Make it spicy! Add a touch of sriracha or chili flakes to the filling for a little kick.
-
Add veggies: A few finely chopped bell peppers or water chestnuts can add crunch and freshness.
-
Prep ahead: You can assemble the egg rolls up to a day in advance and refrigerate until ready to fry.
