How to Make Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls
-

Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom. Dab a little water on the top corner to seal. -
Heat the oil.
In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C). -
Fry until golden.
Fry egg rolls in batches, 3–4 at a time, for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. -
Drain and serve.
Remove to paper towels to drain. Let cool slightly and serve warm.
Storage & Serving Suggestions
- Serve with sweet chili sauce, duck sauce, or spicy mayo.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in an air fryer or oven to restore crispiness.
- Freeze uncooked egg rolls for up to 2 months and fry straight from frozen.
Tips & FAQs
Can I use real crab instead of imitation?
Yes. Fresh or canned crab works great—just drain well and gently fold it in.
Can these be baked or air-fried?
Absolutely. Brush lightly with oil and bake at 400°F for 12–15 minutes, or air-fry at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
How do I keep them from bursting?
Don’t overfill, and make sure the wrapper is sealed tightly before frying.
Can I make them ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours before frying.
