- Spoon about two tablespoons of the creamy crab mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
- Lightly brush the edges with the beaten egg, fold the sides in, and roll tightly from the bottom up.
Frying
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place a few egg rolls in the pan and fry for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serving
- Drain the fried egg rolls on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Mix the dipping sauce ingredients and serve piping hot.
Notes
For a baked version, brush with olive oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes. Substitute crab with vegetables for a vegetarian option.
