Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese - at room temperature
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic - minced
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 8 ounces imitation crab meat - (or drained canned lump crab meat or fresh crab meat), shredded or finely chopped
  • cups Monterey Jack cheese - shredded
  • ½ cup green onions - sliced

For the Crispy Wonton Chips

  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 (12-ounce) package of wonton wrappers - sliced in half diagonally

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 1 ½ - 2-quart casserole dish or another oven-safe dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, soy sauce, garlic, and sugar, and continue to mix until fully combined.
  • Stir in the crab, half of the shredded cheese, and all of the sliced green onions.
  • Transfer the crab mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes for an even more golden cheesy top (but keep a close eye to prevent any burning).
  • Enjoy with crispy (homemade or store-bought) wonton chips, buttery crackers, or tortilla chips.

Wonton Chips

  • Heat the olive oil in a deep-frying skillet or Dutch oven set over medium heat. Slice the wonton wrappers in half diagonally to make triangles, and set aside a large baking pan with a cooling rack on top.
  • Once the oil reaches 360-365 degrees Fahrenheit, add 2-3 wonton triangles to the oil. Fry for 25-30 seconds or until they just start developing some color.
  • Remove them from the oil immediately and allow them to drain on the cooling rack. Repeat the frying process with as many of the remaining wonton wrappers as you like.

Notes

  • Nutritional information does not include the fried wonton chips.
  • Crab rangoon dip will last up to 4 days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container.
