Ingredients

• 8 ounces fresh, cooked, and flaked crab meat
• 3 green onions, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 8 wonton wrappers or egg roll wraps
• Oil for frying
• Optional Additions & Variations:
• Sweeter Flavor: Add 1-2 teaspoons of granulated sugar to the filling for a touch of sweetness.
• Soy Sauce Substitute: If out of Worcestershire sauce, replace it with 2 teaspoons of soy sauce for a slightly saltier taste.
• Frozen Crab Meat: Fresh crab is ideal, but if using frozen crab, be sure to thaw and drain well before mixing.
• Baking Option: Instead of frying, brush the egg rolls with oil and bake at 375°F for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.

Preparation Method

1. Heat 2 inches of oil in a large pan to 350 to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and chopped green onions until smooth.
3. Gently fold in flaked crab meat.
4. Lay egg roll wrappers on a surface and place a spoonful of crab mixture in the center.
5. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling and roll tightly, sealing the seam with water.
6. Carefully place egg rolls seam side down in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, turning occasionally.
7. Remove egg rolls with a slotted spoon and transfer to a cooling rack lined with paper towels.
8. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

Tips and Conclusion

For extra crispiness, let the wrapped egg rolls rest for a few minutes before frying. This allows the wrapper to adhere better to the filling, preventing breakage while cooking.
