Ingredients
The following ingredients are typically used to create these delicious egg rolls. Note that specific quantities and additional seasonings may vary depending on your preferred recipe.
- Lump crab meat – fresh or high-quality canned, for that sweet, delicate flavour
- Egg roll wrappers – to create the crispy outer shell
- Classic crab cake seasonings – such as Old Bay, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce
- Binding agents – typically breadcrumbs and egg to hold the filling together
- Aromatics – finely diced onion, celery, and bell pepper for flavour and texture
- Oil for frying – for achieving a deep golden, crispy finish
For serving, a tangy dipping sauce like spicy aioli, remoulade, or a simple lemon-garlic mayo is highly recommended to complement the rich crab filling.
