Ingredients
For the Crab Cake Filling:
1 cup lump crab meat
2 tbsp finely chopped celery
2 green onions, finely sliced
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp Old Bay seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Egg Rolls:
6 egg roll wrappers
1 egg (for sealing)
Oil for frying
For the Lemon Dip:
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp honey (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Assemble the egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 2 tbsp of the crab filling in the center. Brush the edges with a beaten egg, then fold the bottom over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
Fry the egg rolls: Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Make the lemon dip: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, honey (if using), salt, and pepper.
Serve and enjoy: Serve the crispy crab cake egg rolls hot with the lemon dip on the side. Garnish with fresh chives or extra lemon zest for a zesty touch!
