Ingredients
Before we get started, let’s gather all the ingredients we’ll need for this recipe. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Crab meat (canned or fresh)
- Cream cheese
- Green onions
- Garlic powder
- Soy sauce
- Salt and pepper
- Egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
1. In a bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
2. Take an egg roll wrapper and place it on a clean surface in a diamond shape, with one corner facing you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the crab mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
3. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, tucking it in tightly. Fold the left and right corners towards the center, and then roll the wrapper upwards, sealing the edges with a bit of water.

5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to around 350°F (175°C).
6. Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
7. Remove the egg rolls from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs, and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve the Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce.
Recipe Notes and Tips
- You can customize the filling by adding other ingredients such as minced garlic, grated ginger, or even a dash of hot sauce for some extra heat.
- For a healthier version, you can bake the egg rolls in the oven instead of frying them. Simply brush them with a little oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- If you prefer a vegetarian option, you can substitute the crab meat with imitation crab or even finely chopped mushrooms.
