Ingredients
10–12 egg roll wrappers
Canola oil for frying
16 oz cream cheese
8 oz surimi seafood imitation crab, chopped
2 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic, minced or powder
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sweet chili sauce
1/4 cup mayo
1 large egg
1 tbsp water
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix sweet chili sauce and mayo until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl to make the egg wash.
- In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, crab, mozzarella, green onion, parsley, onion powder, garlic, sugar, and salt until well blended.
- Place two egg roll wrappers on a flat surface. Add 2–3 tablespoons of filling to the center. Brush edges with egg wash, fold bottom corner over filling, tuck in sides, and roll tightly. Seal with egg wash. Repeat with remaining filling.
- For frying: Heat canola oil to 350°F. Fry egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on a rack or paper towels.
- For air frying: Preheat air fryer to 375°F. Lightly brush egg rolls with oil. Cook for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway, until crispy.
- For baking: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place egg rolls on a parchment-lined tray, lightly coat with oil, and bake for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
- Serve hot with creamy sweet chili sauce and optional lemon wedges.
Notes
- Use real crab meat instead of imitation for a richer flavor.
- Double-wrap egg rolls to prevent leakage during frying.
- For extra heat, add diced jalapeños or red bell peppers.
- Store uncooked rolls in the freezer and cook directly from frozen.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer to keep them crispy—avoid microwaving.
