Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the imitation crab meat, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, and diced green onions. Mix in soy sauce and sprinkle with sugar.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry until about ¼ inch thick.
  4. Spread the crab filling evenly across the puff pastry, leaving a ¼ inch border.
  5. Starting from one end, roll the puff pastry tightly into a log shape, pressing the edges to seal.
  6. Slice the log into ½ inch thick pinwheels and arrange cut side up on the baking sheets.
  7. Whisk an egg and brush the tops and sides of each pinwheel with the egg wash.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown, rotating trays halfway.
  9. Remove from the oven and serve warm with dipping sauces.
