15 egg roll wrappers
1 pound pasteurized lump crabmeat
1 quart vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
1 tablespoon water
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

Cook rolls again, 5 at a time, turning once, until crisp and golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain on a rack set over a lipped cookie sheet and place in warm oven; can be held up to 20 minutes.
  • Cut each roll into thirds, sprinkle with cilantro and serve with dipping sauce.

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
1 pinch kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
8 oz fresh lump crab meat, shredded
⅓ cup scallions, thinly sliced
12 square wonton wrappers
1 large egg, beaten
peanut oil, for frying
sweet and sour sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, a pinch of salt, soy sauce, and sugar until well combined. Gently fold in the crab meat and scallions until evenly incorporated.
  • Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond orientation. Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg. Scoop 3 tablespoons of the crab filling onto the center of the wrapper and flatten slightly with a spoon. Fold the sides of the wrapper inwards to cover the filling, then roll the wonton up, starting from the bottom and working upward to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Fill a large pot halfway with peanut oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 375˚F (190˚C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  • Working 3-4 at a time, fry the egg rolls in the hot oil until the wrappers are puffed and golden, about 2 minutes, flipping halfway to ensure even color. Transfer to the wire rack and sprinkle with salt.
  • Serve the egg rolls with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce.
  • Enjoy!

  • Don't overfill the egg rolls: Overfilling the egg rolls will make them difficult to roll and seal. Aim to fill each egg roll with about 1/4 cup of filling.
  • Seal the egg rolls tightly: To prevent the filling from leaking out, make sure to seal the egg rolls tightly. You can use a fork to press the edges of the egg rolls together.
  • Fry the egg rolls until golden brown: Fry the egg rolls in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the egg rolls with ginger-lime dipping sauce: The ginger-lime dipping sauce is a perfect complement to the crab-filled egg rolls. It is tangy, sweet, and slightly spicy.
