Lump crab meat is the star ingredient in our Crabby Delight Egg Rolls. Sourced from the body of the crab, this meat is characterized by its large, tender pieces and sweet flavor. When purchasing crab meat, it’s essential to look for high-quality options, ideally fresh or pasteurized crab meat from reputable sources. The best crab meat is typically found in the seafood section of your local grocery store or at specialty seafood markets. Look for varieties labeled “jumbo lump” or “lump” for the largest pieces, which will provide the best texture and presentation in your egg rolls.

Ingredients
  

1 pound lump crab meat, picked over for shells

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 green onions, finely chopped

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

10 egg roll wrappers

Vegetable oil, for frying

Sweet chili sauce, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.

    Add Crab Meat: Gently fold in the lump crab meat and chopped green onions, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much. Set aside.

      Form the Egg Rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the crab filling in the center of the wrapper.

        Roll Up: Lift the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold the sides in, and roll tightly upwards to seal. Use a little water on the edges to help seal the roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

          Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or a pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

            Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully place a few egg rolls in the hot oil at a time, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

              Drain: Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

                Serve: Once all egg rolls are fried, serve them hot with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
