Instructions

Make Crab Cakes: Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. In a bowl, combine all crab cake ingredients. Mix well and form into small balls.
Air Fry Crab Cakes: Cook crab cakes in the air fryer for 10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Make Fire Sauce and Slaw: While crab cakes cook, whisk together sour cream, sweet chili sauce, hot sauce, and Old Bay seasoning in a bowl. Set aside ¾ cup for dipping. Toss shredded cabbage with the remaining sauce.
Assemble Egg Rolls: Cut each crab cake in half. Lay an egg roll wrapper flat and spread 2 tablespoons of cabbage slaw down the center. Top with 3 crab cake halves. Fold the egg roll wrapper (see detailed instructions in the original recipe). Brush with egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water).
Air Fry Egg Rolls: Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. Lightly grease the air fryer basket. Cook egg rolls in batches for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Serve hot with the reserved fire sauce for dipping.

Notes

If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the crab cakes and egg rolls in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Adjust the amount of sriracha and hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as marinara sauce or sweet and sour sauce.
