Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 1 cup crab meat (imitation or canned lump crab meat, well drained)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature, 1 brick, 250 grams)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • 4 green onions (thinly sliced, white and green parts)
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (divided into ½ cup and reserved ½ cup shredded)

Optional Topping

  • ½ cup Thai Sweet Chili Sauce

Wonton Chips

  • 24 wonton wraps (cut in half diagonally to make triangle chips)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying or brushing)
  • 1 green onion (thinly sliced, white and green parts for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the dip.
  2. Prepare Cream Cheese: If the cream cheese is not at room temperature, microwave it for 10 seconds to soften slightly for easier mixing.
  3. Mix Dip Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine crab meat, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, sliced green onions, soy sauce, sugar, and ½ cup mozzarella cheese. Mix until evenly combined.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the dip mixture into a 1-quart oven-safe dish such as an 8”x8” or 9”x9” square dish or an 8”-9” round dish, spreading evenly.
  5. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the reserved ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the dip.
  6. Bake Dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the dip is bubbling and the mozzarella cheese is lightly browned.
  7. Add Thai Sweet Chili Sauce (Optional): Remove the dip from the oven and, if desired, drizzle and spread the Thai sweet chili sauce over the top for a slightly sweet and tangy flavor.
  8. Prepare Wonton Chips (Pan Frying): Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, carefully fry wonton chips for 20-25 seconds each side until golden brown, bubbly, and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  9. Prepare Wonton Chips (Air Fryer Alternative): Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Lightly spray or brush wonton chips with oil. Place in a single layer (do not stack) and air fry for 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Serve the warm Crab Rangoon Dip garnished with sliced green onions alongside wonton chips or alternative dippers such as tortilla chips, crackers, or veggies.

Notes

  • Wonton chips are optional; you can serve this dip with tortilla chips, crackers, vegetable sticks, pita bread, or any preferred dipper.
  • The Thai sweet chili sauce adds a sweet and mild tangy flavor, but you can omit it if you prefer a less sweet dip.
  • Allow cream cheese to come to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother dip texture.
  • Drain crab meat thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the dip.
  • When frying wonton chips, do not overcrowd the pan to maintain oil temperature and crispiness.
