Popular Questions:

• Can I use imitation crab meat instead of real crab meat?

Yes, you can substitute imitation crab meat, but the flavor may vary slightly.

• Can I make these ahead of time and reheat them?

It’s best to serve these egg rolls fresh for the best taste and texture, but you can reheat them in the oven to crisp them up.

• Can I bake these instead of frying them?

You can bake them for a healthier option, but they won’t be as crispy as when fried.

Helpful Tips:

• Double-check the seal on the egg rolls to prevent the filling from spilling during frying.
