Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup crab meat (fresh or canned), drained
  • 2–3 fresh jalapenos, diced (adjust to spice preference)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Assembly & Frying

  • 12–15 egg roll wrappers
  • Oil for frying (neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil)

Dipping Sauces (Optional)

  • Soy sauce
  • Sweet chili sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, crab meat, diced jalapenos, chopped green onions, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined and creamy.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of filling into the center. Fold in the edges and roll tightly, sealing the ends with a little water to keep them closed during frying.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour enough oil into a deep skillet or fryer to cover half the height of the egg rolls. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) to reach the optimal frying temperature.
  4. Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully place the filled egg rolls into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  5. Serve Warm: Serve the Crab Rangoon Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls immediately with dipping sauces such as soy sauce or sweet chili for enhanced flavor.

Notes

  • Chill the filling to make it easier to handle while assembling.
  • Don’t overfill the wrappers to avoid bursting during frying.
  • Seal edges securely using water or a cornstarch slurry to keep egg rolls closed.
  • Maintain oil temperature at 350°F to prevent greasy or undercooked rolls.
  • Drain fried egg rolls on paper towels immediately to keep them crispy.
