How to Make Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls
Start by preparing the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Mix everything together until smooth and well combined.
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly toward the top corner and seal the edge with a small amount of water.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to about 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil and fry for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they become golden brown and crispy.
Remove the egg rolls and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Tips for the Best Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened so the filling mixes smoothly.
