Description
Crispy, golden crab cake egg rolls filled with a seasoned crab mixture and served with a bold, tangy chili-mustard dipping sauce.
Ingredients
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp chili-garlic sauce
1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
8 oz lump crab meat, picked through
1 scallion, sliced
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
18 wonton wrappers
Neutral oil for frying (5–6 cups)
Chili-Mustard Dip:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 scallion, sliced
1 Tbsp chili-garlic sauce
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp granulated sugar
Instructions
- Stir together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chili-garlic sauce, and Old Bay seasoning in a medium bowl.
- In a separate bowl, toss crab meat with scallion and panko, then fold into the mayo mixture.
- Place a wonton wrapper with a corner facing you. Add a heaping tablespoon of filling to the center and brush edges with water.
- Fold the bottom corner up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
- Heat neutral oil in a heavy pot to 375°F (190°C). Fry rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes until deep golden. Drain on paper towels.
- For the dipping sauce, stir together mayonnaise, scallion, chili-garlic sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, soy sauce, and sugar.
- Serve warm egg rolls with chili-mustard dip.
Notes
Add diced bell pepper or celery for extra crunch.
Increase chili-garlic sauce or add cayenne for more heat.
Bake instead of fry for a lighter option.
Use a mix of lump and claw meat for stronger crab flavor.
Air fry at 200°C (400°F) until crisp, turning once.
