Crab Cake Egg Rolls

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, green onions, red bell pepper, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.
    • Gently mix until all ingredients are well combined. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
    • Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you (like a diamond shape).
    • Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the crab cake mixture near the center of the wrapper.
    • Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Use a bit of water to seal the edges. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and crab mixture.
  3. Heat the Oil:
    • In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of wrapper; it should sizzle and turn golden brown in about 1 minute.
  4. Fry the Egg Rolls:
    • Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, frying a few at a time. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
    • Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the egg rolls from the oil, placing them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve the crab cake egg rolls hot, with your favorite dipping sauces like tartar sauce, spicy mayo, or cocktail sauce.
