Ingredients

For the Filling

8 oz cream cheese softened
6 oz crab meat cooked and shredded
2 tbsp green onions finely chopped
1 tbsp soy sauce low sodium recommended
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground

For the Egg Rolls

2 cups oil for frying

For the Dipping Sauce

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp rice vinegar

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded crab meat, chopped green onions, soy sauce, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Assemble the Egg Rolls

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the crab filling in the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly towards the top corner. Seal the edge with a little beaten egg.
Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Fry the Egg Rolls

In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of bread; it should sizzle and turn golden brown.
Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, a few at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg rolls and place them on a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain excess oil.

Prepare the Dipping Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir until well combined.

Serve

Serve the hot egg rolls with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture. You can also bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes if you prefer a healthier option.
