🍳 Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls
- In a large skillet or deep pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat (about 350°F / 175°C).
- Carefully add 2–3 egg rolls at a time to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry for 2–3 minutes per side, or until they turn crispy and golden brown.
- Remove with tongs and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
💡 Alternative: For a lighter version, you can air-fry them at 390°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, or bake in the oven at 400°F (205°C) for 15–18 minutes until crisp.
🍽️ Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Serve your golden Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls hot, with your favorite dipping sauce such as sweet and sour, duck sauce, or spicy sriracha mayo.
When you bite into one, you’ll experience a crunchy exterior that gives way to a creamy, savory crab filling — the perfect combination of texture and flavor.
🧊 Storage Tips
- To refrigerate: Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best crispiness.
- To freeze: Place uncooked or cooked rolls on a baking sheet until frozen solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Fry or bake directly from frozen (add a few extra minutes).
