Spicy Crab Sushi Egg Rolls is a crispy deep fried version of a spicy crab sushi roll made at home sure to be a viral recipe hit with everyone!
- 1 large avocado
- kosher salt, pepper
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 4 to 6 ounces jalapeno cream cheese (or regular cream cheese) room temperature
- 1 cup cooked rice (I used a microwave pouch of Jasmine rice)
- 8 imitation crab sticks
- vegetable oil (enough to fill a small saucepan or skillet 2 to 3 inches)
- Optional: spicy mayo, ginger soy glaze, wasabi, pickled ginger, sesame seeds, green onions
-
Mash the avocado, kosher salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
-
Lay each wonton wrapper flat and in the center spread some jalapeno cream cheese, avocado, rice, and an imitation crab stick. Dip your finger or a brush in water and trace around the edges of each egg roll wrapper. Fold the top corner over the filling, fold the sides in, and roll each into an egg roll.
-
Fill a saucepan or small skillet 2 to 3 inch deep with vegetable oil. Set over medium heat on the stove until the oil reaches 350 degrees (check after 5 minutes).
Note: We deep fried ours on our Blackstone griddle, it takes a little longer for the oil to heat but nice keeping the oil smell outside.
-
Gently place 2 to 3 egg rolls in the oil and fry 2 to 3 minutes, flipping halfway through until the egg roll is golden brown and crisp. Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining egg rolls.
-
Serve with optional toppings such as spicy mayo, ginger soy glaze, wasabi, pickled ginger, sesame seeds, and/or green onions.
