• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• ½ teaspoon sugar

Preparation Method

1. Prepare the filling by mixing softened cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.

2. Assemble the egg rolls by laying a wrapper in a diamond shape, placing a spoonful of filling in the center, brushing the edges with beaten egg, folding the bottom corner over the filling, folding the sides, and rolling tightly. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

3. Fry the egg rolls in heated vegetable oil at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

4. Make the dipping sauce by whisking together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a small bowl.

5. Serve the crispy egg rolls on a platter with the dipping sauce, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds. Serve warm for best flavor.
