Ingredients
  

1 cup imitation crab meat, shredded

8 oz cream cheese, softened

2 green onions, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp soy sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

1 package egg roll wrappers

Vegetable oil for frying

Sweet and sour sauce for dipping

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded imitation crab meat, chopped green onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Take an egg roll wrapper and lay it on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you.

      Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the crab filling onto the center of the wrapper.

        Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Roll the wrapper tightly away from you, sealing the top corner with a bit of water to help it stick. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

          Heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat until hot (approximately 350°F or 175°C).

            Carefully drop the egg rolls into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.

              Using a slotted spoon, remove the egg rolls and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

                Serve warm with sweet and sour sauce for dipping.
