Ingredients
Scale
- 8 rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup lump crab meat (or imitation crab)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prepare your workstation by laying out all ingredients and filling a shallow dish with warm water.
- Soften each rice paper wrapper in warm water for about 15 seconds until pliable, then lay flat on a clean surface.
- In a bowl, mix together crab meat, softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, and soy sauce until well combined.
- Place about two tablespoons of the filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the bottom over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly like a burrito.
