π Ingredients:
1 cup crab meat (cooked and shredded)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
10 egg roll wrappers
1 egg (beaten, for sealing)
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
π©βπ³ Directions:
Prepare the filling: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, green onions, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the filling is smooth and creamy.
Assemble the egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the crab mixture in the center of the wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrapper with a little bit of the beaten egg to help seal the egg roll. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, making sure the filling is secure inside.
Heat the oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of the wrapper in; if it sizzles immediately, itβs ready to go.
Fry the egg rolls: Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure they arenβt overcrowded. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to flip them so they cook evenly.
Drain and cool: Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve: Serve the Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls warm with a side of sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
β±οΈ Time: 15 minutes (prep) + 6-8 minutes (frying)

π₯ Tip: For extra crunch, you can bake the egg rolls in the oven at 400Β°F (200Β°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
