Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Crab Cake Filling:

  • 1 cup lump crab meat
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Egg Rolls:

  • 8 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
  • Oil for frying

For the Lemon Dip:

 

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crab Cake Filling:

    • In a bowl, gently mix together the lump crab meat, chopped celery, sliced green onions, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  • Assemble the Egg Rolls:

    • Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner facing you (like a diamond shape).
    • Spoon a small amount of the crab mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
    • Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg.
    • Fold in the sides and roll up tightly, ensuring the filling is sealed inside.
    • Repeat for the remaining egg rolls.

  • Fry the Egg Rolls:

    • Heat oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat (about 350°F or 175°C).
    • Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
    • Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

  • Prepare the Lemon Dip:

    • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.

 

  • Serve:

    • Serve the crispy crab cake egg rolls warm with the lemon dip on the side.

Notes

  • For an extra kick, add a pinch of Old Bay seasoning to the crab filling.
  • Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature to achieve a crispy exterior without absorbing too much oil.
  • These egg rolls can be prepared ahead of time and fried just before serving.
