Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls

How To Make Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls

Step 1: Make the Filling

In a food processor, pulse together:

• Cream cheese

• Worcestershire sauce

• Garlic powder

• Onion powder

• Green onions

Pulse until smooth and blended. Stir in the crab meat gently so you keep some texture.

Step 2: Fill and Roll

1. Lay an egg roll wrapper with a corner pointing toward you.

2. Place about 3 rounded tablespoons of filling in the center, forming a short horizontal mound.

3. Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling.

4. Fold in both sides tightly.

5. Roll upward firmly.

6. Dab the top corner with water to seal.

(If you’ve never rolled egg rolls before, the wrapper package usually shows step-by-step visuals!)

Step 3: Fry to Golden Perfection

1. Heat oil to 375°F in a heavy pot.

2. Fry 2–3 at a time.

3. Cook 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

4. Allow oil temperature to return to 375°F between batches.

5. Drain on paper towels.

The sizzle, the golden color, that first crackly bite… oh my goodness.

Serve warm!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Yes! Brush with oil and bake at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through. They won’t be quite as crispy, but still delicious.

Can I make them ahead of time?

Absolutely. Assemble them and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before frying.

Why did my egg rolls burst?

Usually from overfilling or oil that’s too hot. Keep that steady 375°F and don’t overstuff.

Can I air fry them?

Yes! Spray lightly with oil and cook at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through.
