-
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Egg Rolls:
-
10–12 egg roll wrappers

Instructions
-
Prepare the Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, mix cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
-
Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape). Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling near the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly toward the top corner, brushing a little beaten egg on the edges to seal.
-
Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
-
Fry the Egg Rolls: Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
-
Serve: Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.
Notes
-
Use real crab meat for a more authentic flavor or imitation crab for a budget-friendly option.
-
These egg rolls are best served fresh but can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to retain crispiness.
-
You can add shredded carrots or bell peppers to the filling for extra crunch and flavor.
