03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
05 - 12 ounces lump crab meat, well drained

12 - Bottled sweet chili sauce, for dipping

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Fill the electric deep fryer with canola oil to the indicated fill line and heat to 350°F.
02 - In a medium bowl, blend softened cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
03 - Gently fold the drained lump crab meat and sliced green onions into the cream cheese mixture, avoiding breaking up the crab.
04 - Whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl until combined.
05 - Place one egg roll wrapper diamond-shaped on a clean surface and brush a 1-inch border on all sides with egg wash.
06 - Scoop two 1.5-tablespoon portions of the filling into the center of the wrapper and shape into a 3.5 to 4-inch horizontal log.
07 - Fold the left corner over the filling, then the right corner overlapping the left, fold the top corner down, and roll tightly, sealing edges with egg wash as needed.
08 - Transfer the assembled rolls onto parchment-lined tray. Repeat until all wrappers are filled.
09 - Lower 3 to 4 egg rolls into hot oil basket; fry for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown, gently moving basket to prevent sticking.
10 - Remove fried egg rolls and set on paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
11 - Continue frying remaining egg rolls in batches following previous steps.
12 - Arrange drained egg rolls on a serving platter; garnish with sliced green onions and serve with sweet chili sauce.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Use softened cream cheese at room temperature to ensure smooth incorporation with spices and crab meat.
