Ingredients

You only need a few simple ingredients to make this easy dip.

• Imitation crab meat - traditional for crab rangoon and budget-friendly.
• Cream cheese - makes the creamy base for the dip. Let it come to room temperature so it's easy to mix.
• Sour cream - lightens the texture and adds a little tang.
• Garlic - a little bit adds savory flavor without overpowering the dip.
• Soy sauce - for that familiar takeout flavor.
• Worcestershire sauce - adds depth and savory flavor.
• Green onions - scallions are used both in the dip and as a garnish on top.
• Monterey Jack cheese - melts smoothly and adds gooey cheesy flavor.
• Sweet chili sauce - or sriracha drizzled on top for a hint of sweetness and heat.
• Wonton wrappers - for making the chips. You can can also use crackers or tortilla chips for a dipper if you don't want to make them.

How to Make Crab Rangoon Dip

Just a few simple steps and a quick bake, and you'll have a seafood appetizer ready to serve.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a medium baking dish.

In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, crab meat, diced green onions and shredded cheese until fully combined.

Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the dip is hot, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.

While the dip bakes, cut the wonton wrappers in half diagonally. Lightly spray both sides with cooking spray and arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry in batches at 400 degrees for 3 to 5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden.

Once the dip is out of the oven, drizzle sweet chili sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining sliced green onions.

Serve right away with wonton chips, crackers, or tortilla chips.

Variations

This dip is easy to tweak if you want to take it up a notch.

• Spicy version: Mix sriracha directly into the dip before baking for more heat.
• Extra cheesy: Add a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese or more Monterey Jack on top before baking.
• Lump crab upgrade: Swap imitation crab for lump crab meat for a more classic crab dip texture.
