Crab Rangoon Dip
Description
The Crab Rangoon Dip brings together softened cream cheese, sour cream, soy sauce, and a touch of brown sugar to create a smooth base. Fresh garlic and canned crab meat add savory depth. Mozzarella cheese is partially mixed into the dip and sprinkled on top for a bubbly, browned finish after baking. Green onions layer in a mild sharpness and fresh contrast. The dip is baked covered and uncovered to allow the cheese topping to melt and brown.
Alongside, wonton wrappers are cut diagonally and fried in hot vegetable oil until crisp and golden, providing a crunchy vessel for the rich dip. The balance of creamy, cheesy dip with the crunchy wonton chips makes a pleasing textural combination.
This dish suits party or game-day fare, offering a shareable, indulgent appetizer. The dip is warm, cheesy, and subtly sweet and savory, while the homemade wonton chips deliver freshness and crispness that store-bought chips often lack.
Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce

- 1 clove garlic minced
- 3 oz. crab meat canned
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese separated*
- 4 green onion separated, diced
- 12 oz. wonton wrappers
- 1 quart vegetable oil
Instructions
Making The Dip
- Note: Make sure your cream cheese has had time to sit out and get very soft, it will be nice and smooth that way. Otherwise it will become lumpy when combined with the other ingredients.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer in a large bowl.
- Add the sour cream and soy sauce and beat to combine.
- Add the brown sugar, garlic, crab meat, half of the cheese, and half of the green onions. Use a silicone spatula to combine.
- Add the dip to a small baking dish and top with remaining cheese.
- Bake, covered, for 20 minutes.
- Remove the cover and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is hot, melted, and begins to brown.
- Sprinkle the other half of the diced onions over the dip and serve with wonton chips!
Making the Wonton Chips
- Add the oil to a dutch oven or use a deep fryer. Use an oil thermometer if possible, the oil should be at about 325 degrees.
- Cut each wonton wrap in half diagonally. Fry them in batches of 5. Use kitchen tongs to lower them into the oil and flip them as they cook so that they brown on each side.
- Remove the wontons from the oil as soon as they are lightly browned on each side. They quickly change from light, golden brown to a dark brown so work quickly and watch them.
- Place the fried wontons on a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Repeat until all of the wontons are fried. Serve the chips with the Crab Rangoon Dip and enjoy!
