- Remove the fried egg rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 4: Serve Hot
Serve the warm Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls with your choice of dipping sauces, such as sweet chili sauce, duck sauce, or soy sauce with lime wedges.
Why These Are So Addictive
The combination of gooey cream cheese, savory crab, and crispy egg roll wrappers creates an irresistible texture contrast. Plus, their handheld size makes them perfect for snacking or sharing at gatherings.
Tips for Success
- Don’t Overfill: Use just enough filling to ensure the egg rolls stay sealed during frying.
- Seal Them Tightly: Press the edges firmly after brushing with egg to prevent leaks while cooking.
- Make Ahead: Prepare and freeze the assembled egg rolls before frying. Simply fry directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to cook time.
- Bake Instead of Fry (Optional): For a lighter version, spray the egg rolls with cooking oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
These Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls bring together the best of both worlds—crispy, crunchy exteriors with soft, cheesy interiors. Whether served as an appetizer or snack, they’re sure to be a hit at any gathering. So grab your wrappers, mix up the filling, and get ready to savor these crowd-pleasing bites! 🦀🥙✨
