Ingredients
- Filling:
- 16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 3 green onions, chopped
- ½ pound fresh flaked crabmeat (or imitation crab)
- Wrapping:
- 8 to 10 egg roll wrappers
- For Frying:
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a food processor, blend the cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped green onions until well combined. Stir in the crabmeat gently.
- Wrap the Egg Rolls:
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you.
- Scoop about three rounded tablespoons of filling onto the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the corner nearest to you over the filling and tuck it in tightly. Fold in the sides and roll the wrapper tightly. Seal the final corner with a dab of water.
- Fry the Egg Rolls:
- Heat vegetable oil in a heavy pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the egg rolls in small batches (2-3 at a time) for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Make sure to let the oil return to temperature between batches.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve:
- Enjoy the egg rolls warm with your choice of dipping sauces, such as duck sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or soy sauce.
Tips & Variations
- Crab Options: Fresh crab is ideal, but imitation crab or canned crab can work in a pinch. If using imitation crab, chop it finely.
- Dipping Sauces: Pair with duck sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or hot mustard for added flavor.
- Storage: Store leftover egg rolls in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat by frying or baking at 400°F until warm.
