Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.

2. Lay out one egg roll wrapper with a corner facing you. Add 2 tablespoons of the filling to the center.

3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, then roll tightly. Moisten the top corner with water and seal.

4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).

5. Fry egg rolls in small batches for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

6. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

7. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce or dipping sauce of choice.

Notes

For crispier egg rolls, avoid overfilling and seal edges tightly to prevent leaking during frying.

To make them ahead, freeze uncooked egg rolls on a tray, then store in a freezer bag and fry directly from frozen (add 1-2 minutes cooking time).
