Ingredients

Scale

Crab Cake Filling

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pound crab meat, picked over for shells

Other

  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crab Cake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, beaten egg, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, chopped parsley, and Worcestershire sauce. Gently fold in the crab meat, ensuring it is well coated without breaking up the lumps. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointed towards you. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the crab cake mixture onto the lower third of the wrapper. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly and roll up the wrapper to the top corner, sealing the edge with a bit of water to ensure it sticks.
  3. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be enough to submerge the egg rolls halfway.
  4. Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully place a few assembled egg rolls into the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until all sides are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  5. Serve: Serve the crab cake egg rolls hot with your choice of dipping sauces such as cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or a spicy aioli for an added kick.

Notes

  • Be careful not to tear the egg roll wrappers when assembling.
  • If you prefer a lighter option, these can be baked at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, but frying provides the best crispness.
  • Use fresh lump crab meat for the best texture and flavor.
  • Make sure the oil is at the right temperature to avoid greasy egg rolls.
