Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Substitution: Use low-fat cream cheese for a lighter option.
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce Adjust to taste; use soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Fresh garlic can be used but adjust quantity to prevent overpowering the dish.
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder Can be substituted with finely chopped fresh onions; reduce quantity.
  • 2 tbsp Green Onions Substitution: Chopped chives or shallots can work as alternatives.
  • 8 oz Fresh White Crab Meat Substitution: Imitation crab is acceptable but has less flavor.
For the Wrapping
  • 10 pcs Egg Roll Wrappers Alternative: Wonton wrappers can also be used for smaller bites.
  • 2 cups Vegetable Oil Substitution: Canola or peanut oil works well due to high smoking point.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls
  1. Prepare Filling: Place your cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped green onions into a food processor. Pulse until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Fold in fresh crab meat gently, keeping it chunky for texture. Set aside.
  2. Assemble Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon 3 tablespoons of filling into the center. Fold the bottom corner over, tuck the sides, and roll tightly toward the top corner, sealing with water. Repeat until all filling is used.
  3. Heat Oil: Heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C) in a heavy pot. Use a thermometer for accuracy; allow about 10 minutes until shimmering.
  4. Fry: Slip 2-3 egg rolls into hot oil, frying for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway. Monitor oil temperature and adjust heat as necessary.
  5. Drain and Serve: Use a slotted spoon to remove fried egg rolls, letting excess oil drip off. Place on paper towels. Serve warm with dipping sauces.
