📝 Ingredients

For the Egg Rolls

  • 15 egg roll wrappers

  • 1 cup chopped imitation crab
    (real crab works too—see variations)

  • 1½ blocks softened cream cheese (375 g)

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 garlic clove, minced (optional but recommended)

  • ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing the wrappers)

  • Oil for frying

Optional Dipping Sauces

  • Sweet chili sauce

  • Spicy mayo (mayo + sriracha + pinch of sugar)

  • Homemade sweet & sour sauce

🍳 Step-by-Step Directions

1. Prepare the Filling

In a medium mixing bowl, combine:

  • Softened cream cheese

  • Chopped imitation crab

  • Green onions

  • Sesame oil

  • Soy sauce

  • Worcestershire

  • Garlic (if using)

  • Salt + pepper

Mix everything together using a fork or silicone spatula until smooth and well combined.

Tip: You want the filling thick but spreadable. If your cream cheese is too firm, microwave it for 10 seconds.

2. Set Up Your Rolling Station

Prepare a clean surface and place:

  • A stack of egg roll wrappers

  • A bowl with the beaten egg

  • A small spoon for scooping filling

  • A baking tray lined with parchment paper

Place one wrapper in front of you like a diamond, with a corner pointing upward.

3. Fill Each Egg Roll

Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling onto the lower third of the wrapper.

Use your fingers to gently shape it into a small horizontal log. This helps it roll more evenly.
