Crab Meat with Egg Rolls Recipe

Crab Meat with Egg Rolls Recipe

Ingredients:

8 egg roll wrappers

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup cooked crab meat (or imitation crab), chopped

2 tbsp green onions, chopped

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp soy sauce

Vegetable oil (for frying)

Preparation:

1. Prepare the Filling:

In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, crab meat (or imitation crab), chopped green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce.

Stir well until everything is smooth and evenly combined.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:

Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface, with a corner pointing towards you (diamond shape).

Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling into the center of each wrapper.

Fold in the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then carefully roll it up tightly, sealing the edge with a small amount of water to hold it together. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

3. Fry the Egg Rolls:

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. The oil should be enough to cover about half of the egg rolls.

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the egg rolls to the pan in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden and crispy on all sides.

Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

4. Serve:

Serve the Crab Meat with Egg Rolls warm, with sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce for dipping.

Tips:

For Extra Flavor: You can add a little bit of hot sauce or sesame oil to the filling mixture for a kick of flavor.

Baking Option: If you prefer baking, brush the egg rolls lightly with oil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through for a healthier alternative to frying.

Imitation Crab: If you’re using imitation crab, shred it into small pieces to get a similar texture to real crab meat.
