They allow you to enjoy the best of both worlds—crab cakes and egg rolls—without the need for a deep fryer. Plus, the versatility of the recipe ensures that you can easily adapt it to suit your taste or dietary preferences.

Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • Lump Crab Meat (1 lb): Provides the rich, authentic crab flavor.
  • Breadcrumbs (½ cup): Binds the filling while adding texture.
  • Mayonnaise (¼ cup): Ensures a creamy, cohesive mixture.
  • Dijon Mustard (1 tsp): Adds a tangy depth.
  • Old Bay Seasoning (1 tsp): Classic seafood seasoning for bold flavor.
  • Fresh Parsley (2 tbsp, chopped): Brightens the filling.
  • Egg (1, beaten): Helps bind the mixture.
  • Green Onion (2, finely chopped): Adds a mild, fresh onion flavor.

For Assembly:

  • Egg Roll Wrappers (10): Crispy exterior for the crab filling.
  • Vegetable Oil: For frying.

Optional for Dipping:

  • Remoulade Sauce or Spicy Aioli: Complements the rich crab filling.

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Filling:
    In a large bowl, combine crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, parsley, egg, and green onions. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat.

  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
    Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the crab mixture in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with water.

  3. Cook the Rolls:

    • Frying Method: Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry rolls for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
    • Baking Option: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush rolls with oil and bake on a parchment-lined sheet for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.

  4. Serve Hot:
    Pair with dipping sauces like remoulade or sweet chili sauce.
