These air fryer crab cake egg rolls are simple to prepare and make a fantastic appetizer. The lump crab meat is generously flavoured, and the fire sauce is perfect for dipping. Making these seafood egg rolls in the air fryer ensures a short cooking time.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F for 5 minutes
In a medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for crab cakes. Mix well. Use a cookie scoop to scoop out crab cake mix and form into balls. Press between your palms to tightly form the crab cake balls.
Add crab cake to the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes.
While the crab cakes are cooking, prepare the fire sauce. Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl and whisk. Set aside ¾ of a cup to use as dip. Add shredded cabbage to the bowl and toss with remaining sauce.
Remove crab cakes from the air fryer. Cut each crab cake in half.
Prepare the egg rolls. Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a solid work surface. Spread 2 tbsp of cabbage mix down the center of each egg roll wrapper in a diagonal line.
Add 3 crab cake halves on top of the cabbage cut side down.
Make the egg wash by whisking together the egg and water in a small bowl.
To fold the eggroll, position it in front of you like a diamond. Brush the egg wash along the edges. Think of the corner furthest from you as corner 1, the left corner is #2, right is #3, and the closest corner is #4. The filling inside of the egg roll should be going diagonally between #2 and #3. Take corner 1 and fold it over the filling. Next, fold corner 3 towards the center. Do the same with corner 2. Tightly roll the egg roll towards corner 4. Place finished egg rolls onto a parchment lined baking sheet as you work.
Brush each egg roll with egg wash on all sides.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F for 5 minutes
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Place into the air fryer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes- about halfway through cooking time, turn the egg rolls over to evenly cook. Check that egg rolls have a golden brown colour before removing.
