Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 cup chopped imitation crab
  • 1 and a 1/2 blocks (375g) softened cream cheese
  • 2 sliced green onions
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

For Wrapping and Frying

  • 15 egg roll wrappers
  • Neutral oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil recommended)
  • Sweet chili sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Chop the imitation crab into small bite-sized pieces and slice the green onions thinly to prepare for the filling mixture.
  2. Make Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped crab, sliced green onions, sesame oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.
  3. Wrap Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean flat surface with the diamond shape facing you. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center and shape it into a horizontal log. Fold the edge closest to you over the filling, tuck in the side corners, and continue rolling tightly like a burrito to fully enclose the filling.
  4. Heat Oil: Heat a pan or wok with enough neutral oil to almost submerge the egg rolls. To test if the oil is hot enough, dip a wooden spoon or chopstick into the oil—if bubbles form around it, the oil is ready for frying.
  5. Fry Egg Rolls: Carefully add the egg rolls in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry each side for 2-3 minutes until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy, flipping once the bottom side is cooked.
  6. Drain and Season: Remove the fried egg rolls from the oil, place on paper towels to drain excess oil, and immediately sprinkle with a pinch of salt while still hot.
  7. Serve: Serve the crispy Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls warm with sweet chili sauce for dipping and enjoy the flavorful appetizer.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
  • Do not overfill the egg rolls to prevent bursting while frying.
  • Maintain proper oil temperature to ensure crispy texture without absorbing excess oil.
  • Sweet chili sauce complements the savory filling perfectly, but you can substitute with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
  • Leftover egg rolls can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for crispiness.
