Intensity:

• Difficulty Level: Medium

Ingredients:

• 1 pound lump crab meat, picked over for shells
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
• 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 12 egg roll wrappers
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare Crab Cake Mixture:
   • In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and lemon juice. Mix until well blended.
   • Gently fold in the crab meat, green onions, red bell pepper, and panko bread crumbs. Mix until just combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
2. Assemble Egg Rolls:
   • Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you (diamond shape). Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the crab mixture in the center of the wrapper.
   • Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the top corner with a little water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Fry Egg Rolls:
   • Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
   • Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4. Serve:
   • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as remoulade or aioli.
