Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine lump crab meat, finely chopped fresh vegetables, breadcrumbs, and your choice of seasonings.
  2. Set this flavorful filling aside while you prepare your egg roll wrappers.
Assembly
  1. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Place a generous tablespoon of the crab filling in the center.
  2. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners snugly. Roll it away from you tightly, sealing the edges with a little water.
  3. Repeat until all filling is used.
Cooking
  1. In a large frying pan or deep skillet, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Carefully add the assembled crab cake egg rolls to the hot oil, frying in small batches for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Use tongs to turn them gently for even cooking.
Serving
  1. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels.
  2. Allow them to cool slightly before serving, with an array of dipping sauces for a delightful appetizer.
