Method

Prepare the Filling

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine the peeled shrimp, crab meat, cream cheese, soy sauce, and chopped green onions. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Assemble the Rolls

  1. 2

    Lay a sheet of soy paper on a clean surface. Place a portion of the filling on the paper, then roll it tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling.

Fry the Rolls

  1. 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the rolls and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve

  1. 4

    Slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces, drizzle with eel sauce, and sprinkle tempura crumbs on top. Serve immediately.
