Step One: Combine crab, cream cheese, diced celery, green onions, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium mixing bowl.

Step Three: Add 4 tablespoons of crab mix diagonally to the center of the egg roll. Fold one corner over the crab mix towards the opposite side, fold both sides over the ends of the crab mix to the center, then tightly roll to the corner.

Step Four: Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 3-5 minutes. Whisk egg and water in a small bowl. Brush all sides of the egg roll with the egg wash. Place into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Set cook time for 5-8 minutes. 

Air Fryer Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls Recipe Tips

• If you need help on how to roll your egg rolls, here is a great video. Because one of the best tips I can give you, si to keep on practicing.
• Make sure your egg roll wrappers are sealed. If you have a pastry brush, brush it with a small amount of water, and then seal—no need for the filling to fall out.
• If you want the egg rolls to get really crispy, lightly spray them with cooking spray.
• Leave space between the egg rolls to fully cooked and crisp up the egg roll wrappers. If they are touching, you will find that the food touching does not crisp up. The air fryer needs the air freely circulating to properly and evenly cook the food. Remember that is how an air fryer works.
