For Wrapping:

• 12–15 egg roll wrappers
• 1/4 cup water (for sealing)

For Frying:

• Vegetable oil (for deep frying)

Optional Dipping Sauce:

• Sweet chili sauce
• Soy sauce with a splash of rice vinegar
• Spicy mayo (mix mayo with sriracha)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crab meat, chopped green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil (if using), salt, and black pepper.
2. Mix until the ingredients are evenly combined and the filling is smooth and creamy.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls

1. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape (pointed corners facing up and down).
2. Place about 1–2 tablespoons of the crab mixture in the center of the wrapper.
3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the left and right corners toward the center.
4. Roll the wrapper tightly toward the top corner, moistening the edges with water to seal it completely.
5. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

3. Heat the Oil

1. Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or pot, filling it about 1–2 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C) on a thermometer.

4. Fry the Egg Rolls

1. Carefully place the assembled egg rolls into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
2. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
3. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

5. Serve and Enjoy

1. Arrange the crispy Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls on a serving platter.
2. Garnish with additional chopped green onions for added color and freshness.
3. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as sweet chili sauce or spicy mayo.
4. Enjoy every bite of these creamy, crunchy, and indulgent Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls!
5. Perfect as a standalone appetizer or paired with a main course for a complete meal.

Tips for Success

• • Use Fresh Ingredients: High-quality crab meat and fresh green onions make a noticeable difference in flavor.
  • Switch Proteins: Substitute crab with shrimp, chicken, or tofu for variety.

• Bake Instead of Fry: For a healthier option, bake the egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
• Store Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to restore crispiness.
