Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls
Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls are a fusion of creamy crab filling and crispy egg roll wrappers, offering restaurant-quality flavors with versatile cooking methods like deep-frying, baking, or air frying.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 4 oz lump crab meat or imitation crab, finely chopped
- 3 large scallions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 2.5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying (if deep-frying)
Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, crab meat, scallions, garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Ensure the filling is thick and evenly mixed.
Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay an egg roll wrapper flat in a diamond shape. Place 2–3 tablespoons of the filling in the center, spreading it into a log shape.
- Fold the bottom corner tightly over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Roll the wrapper up and seal the edge with a dab of water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Cooking Methods:
- Deep-Frying: Heat oil to 350°F. Fry 3–4 egg rolls at a time for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown.
- Baking: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly brush the egg rolls with oil and bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Air Frying: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Cook for 7–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden.
Serve:
- Allow egg rolls to cool slightly before serving. Pair with dipping sauces such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or duck sauce.
Notes
- To prevent sogginess, ensure the crab meat is drained of excess moisture.
- Keep unused wrappers covered with a damp paper towel to prevent drying out.
- Experiment with additional flavors like jalapeño for spice or lemon juice for brightness.
- For storage: Cool completely, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
