Step 3: Heat the Oil
Pour vegetable oil into a deep pan or skillet to a depth of about 1–2 inches.
Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for precision.
Step 4: Fry the Egg Rolls
Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time, without overcrowding.
Fry for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Tip: Keep the oil at a consistent temperature for even frying. Too hot, and they burn; too low, and they get greasy.
Step 5: Serve
Arrange the crab rangoon egg rolls on a serving platter.
Serve warm with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or a spicy dipping sauce of your choice.
Optional: Garnish with extra chopped green onions or sesame seeds for a professional touch.
Variations and Tips
Baked Option: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the egg rolls with oil and bake for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown.
Cheesy Twist: Add shredded mozzarella or cheddar to the filling for a gooey surprise.
Mini Versions: Make bite-sized egg rolls for parties—they fry faster and are perfect for dipping.
