🦀🥟 Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls
A fun twist on the classic appetizer—crispy egg rolls filled with creamy crab and cheese, just like crab rangoon but bigger and crunchier!

2. Fill the wrappers
- Place 2–3 tablespoons of filling in the center
- Fold like an egg roll:
- Fold bottom corner up
- Fold sides inward
- Roll tightly and seal edge with water
3. Fry
- Heat oil to medium (about 350°F / 175°C)

💡 Tips

🟡 What makes them special
- Creamy inside + crispy outside
- Bigger and more filling than traditional crab rangoon

If you want, I can give you a super quick air fryer version that turns out just as crispy with less oil.
