Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 frying pan or deep fryer
  • 1 rolling mat or clean surface
  • 1 paper towels

Ingredients
  

  • 8 pieces egg roll wrappers
  • 8 ounces cream cheese Softened.
  • 4 ounces crab meat Canned or fresh, drained.
  • 4 pieces green onions Finely chopped.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • as needed amount vegetable oil For frying.
  • as needed amount sweet and sour sauce For dipping.

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crab meat, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • Lay one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface, with a corner pointing towards you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the crab mixture in the center of the wrapper.
  • Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, tucking it in slightly. Fold in the side corners and then roll up tightly while continuing to tuck in the filling. Seal the top corner with a little water (or egg wash) to hold the roll together. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan or deep fryer over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place 2-3 egg rolls in the oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes on each side.
  • Remove the egg rolls and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
  • Serve warm with sweet and sour sauce for dipping.

Notes

You can add finely shredded carrots or diced bell peppers to the filling for added texture and flavor.
If you prefer baking instead of frying, brush the egg rolls with vegetable oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Make sure to not overcrowd the frying pan to ensure each egg roll cooks evenly. Adjust the cooking time as necessary based on the size of your air fryer or frying pan.
