Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls Tips

• If you’re short on time, you can use frozen crab meat instead of fresh. Just be sure to thaw it first and drain any excess water.
• I like to serve these egg rolls with a sweet and sour sauce or a soy dipping sauce. But feel free to experiment and try different sauces.
• You can make these egg rolls ahead of time and freeze them for later. Just be sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before freezing. When you’re ready to eat, simply thaw and reheat in the oven or fryer.
• This recipe makes about 12 egg rolls. But depending on the size of your egg roll wrappers, you may get more or less.
• Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls are best served fresh and hot. But leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or fryer before serving.

Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls Variations

1. Use a different type of crab meat. If you can’t find crab meat, you can use shrimp instead. Just be sure to cook the shrimp before adding it to the filling.
2. Change up the dipping sauces. Instead of a sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce, try serving these egg rolls with a spicy chili sauce or a plum sauce.
3. Make a vegetarian version by omitting the crab meat and adding more vegetables to the filling, such as carrots, celery, and onions.
4. For a fun twist, try using wonton wrappers instead of egg roll wrappers. Just follow the same instructions for assembling and frying.
5. Get creative with the fillings! You can really add any type of filling you want. Just be sure to cook it before adding it to the wrapper. Some other ideas include ground beef, chicken, pork, tofu, vegetables, and cheese.

I do not have Worcestershire Sauce; what can I substitute?

While nothing is going to taste exactly like Worcestershire sauce, it can be swapped with a variety of things. Soy sauce is an excellent choice for many recipes. You can also use red wine vinegar or fish sauce. 

Can I use frozen crab meat?

It’s best to use freshly cooked crab meat or canned crab meat if you are desperate. If you do use frozen, you will need to make sure it’s cooked and thawed before using it.

How to Store the Leftovers

You can refrigerate them, but they don’t age well, so flash freezing is a better option. 

If you end up with leftovers, it’s best to freeze them. Flash freezing prevents them from sticking to each other. To flash freeze, place on a baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. After an hour, place them in a freezer bag or container. They can last up to three months in the freezer.

How to reheat

Air Fryer: Place in your air fryer at 325 degrees for 5-6 minutes or until they are hot and crispy. 

Oven Method: Put in a preheated oven at 325 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until hot.
