Step-by-Step Instructions
- Make the filling – In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and garlic until well combined.
- Fill the wrappers – Place 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly, sealing edges with a dab of water.
- Heat the oil – In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the egg rolls – Cook 2–3 rolls at a time until golden brown and crispy, about 3–4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve & enjoy – Pair with sweet and sour sauce, duck sauce, or sweet chili dipping sauce.
Storage & Reheating
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Freeze uncooked egg rolls on a baking sheet, then transfer to a bag. Fry from frozen (add 1–2 minutes).

Tips for Success
- Don’t overfill the wrappers—less is more for clean rolling.
- Keep wrappers covered with a damp towel while working so they don’t dry out.
- Use a thermometer to maintain oil at 350°F for even frying.
Variations
- Add shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a cheesier filling.
- Swap crab for shrimp or lobster for a luxe version.
- Bake instead of fry for a lighter take (400°F for 15–18 minutes).
