Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crab meat, chopped green onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix again.
- Fill and Roll:
- Lay out an egg roll wrapper with one corner pointing towards you.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the crab mixture in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners.
- Brush the final corner with the beaten egg, and roll up the egg roll tightly, sealing the end.
- Fry the Egg Rolls:
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully add the egg rolls, a few at a time, and fry until they’re golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the egg rolls using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve:
- Serve the Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls hot with sweet and sour sauce or any dip of your choice.
Tip: If you prefer to bake the egg rolls, you can brush them with oil and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 15 minutes or until they’re golden and crispy.
