Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls: A Crispy, Creamy Fusion Delight
If you’re a fan of the classic Crab Rangoon appetizer — with its creamy crab filling and crunchy wonton shell — you’ll absolutely love Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls. These rolls take the same irresistible flavors and wrap them up in a larger, crispier egg roll shell. Perfect as a party snack, appetizer, or even a quick meal, these golden-brown delights are simple to prepare and utterly delicious.
Below is a detailed, step-by-step guide to making homemade Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls that taste better than takeout.
🦀 Ingredients You’ll Need
For the filling:
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup imitation crab meat or real crab meat, finely chopped
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, for balance)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the wrappers and frying:
- 10–12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg (beaten, for sealing)
- Vegetable oil (for deep frying)
Optional for serving:
- Sweet and sour sauce
- Duck sauce or spicy mayo
🥣 Step 1: Prepare the Crab Filling
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and crab meat. Mix well until smooth and evenly blended.
- Add green onions, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Stir everything together until you get a creamy, well-seasoned mixture.
💡 Tip: Taste the filling before assembling — adjust salt or spice as needed.
🧻 Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape).
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of crab filling into the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the two side corners tightly.
- Brush the top corner with a little beaten egg to help seal, then roll it up tightly.
⚠️ Be sure to press the edges firmly — this prevents the filling from leaking during frying.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling until all are rolled and sealed.
