Crab Rangoon Dip

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Chop imitation crab meat into ½- to 1-inch pieces and add to the bowl.

Stir in chopped green onions, tamari or soy sauce, sweet chili sauce and minced garlic.

Add garlic powder and onion powder, mixing until fully combined.

Transfer mixture to a 1- to 1 ½-quart baking dish and spread into an even layer.

Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup mozzarella cheese over the top.

Bake for 25 minutes, switching the oven to broil for the final 2 minutes to lightly brown the top.

Remove from oven and garnish with extra sweet chili sauce and additional green onions, if desired.

Baked Wonton Chips

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and lightly spray a baking sheet with oil.

Cut wonton wrappers diagonally into triangles.

Arrange on the baking sheet in a single layer and lightly spray with oil.

Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and a pinch of salt.

Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until crispy and golden around the edges.

Let cool on the baking sheet before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Crab Meat Thoroughly 🦀
Pat imitation crab meat with paper towels to remove excess moisture, preventing a watery dip and ensuring better texture and flavor absorption from the cream cheese mixture.
Toast Wonton Chips Evenly 🥢
Arrange wonton strips in a single layer and flip halfway through baking to ensure uniform crispness; watch closely in the final 2 minutes as they brown rapidly and burn easily.
Bloom Garlic and Onion Powder 🧄
Whisk the dry seasonings into the mayonnaise and cream cheese while cold, then let the mixture sit for 10 minutes before baking to allow flavors to fully develop and distribute evenly.
Layer Cheese for Maximum Melt 🧀
Reserve a handful of mozzarella to sprinkle on top just before serving so it stays stretchy and golden; this creates an irresistible presentation and superior texture.
Balance Sweet and Salty Notes 🌶️
Taste the dip before baking and adjust tamari and sweet chili sauce in small increments—these components can quickly overpower the delicate crab flavor if not balanced carefully.
