2 green onions, finely chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
12 egg roll wrappers
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce until well combined.
2. Lay out an egg roll wrapper like a diamond on a clean surface.
3. Add about 2 tablespoons of filling across the center.
4. Fold the bottom point over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll up tightly.
5. Seal the edge with water. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
6. Heat 2 inches of oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C).
7. Fry 3–4 rolls at a time for 3–4 minutes until golden brown.
8. Remove and drain on paper towels.
9. For baking: Brush rolls with oil and bake at 400°F for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway.
10. For air frying: Spray rolls with oil and air fry at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping once.
11. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Don’t overfill the wrappers—2 tablespoons of filling is ideal.
Drain crab meat thoroughly to prevent soggy rolls.
Serve immediately for the best texture and crunch.
