Ingredients
Crab Rangoon Dip
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ⅓ cup mayo I use Kewpie
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 7 ounces crab diced fine
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 bunch green onions sliced, divided in half
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chinese mustard
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Wonton Chips
- 20 wonton wrappers
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare a 8x8 (2 quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, with a hand mixer, whip the cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the mayonnaise and the sour cream until mixed through.
- Stir in the chopped crab, lemon juice, half the green onions, soy sauce, and mustard. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Spread into the baking dish. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until bubbly and the cheese is melted.
- Remove, sprinkle with sesame seeds and remaining green onions. Enjoy with wonton chips or your favorite crackers.
Homemade Wonton Chips
- To make the wonton chips, I cut the wonton wrappers in half in triangles. You can also use egg roll wrappers and but into squares and then in triangles or strips.
- Preheat the air fryer to 370F.
- Add the sections in a single layer (with room in between them), spray with cooking spray.
- Air fry for 2-3 minutes or until they start to brown on the edges.
- Flip or shake the basket gently, and continue to air fry until a light golden brown. Just another minute or two, they burn quickly!
- Remove and let cool. Continue in batches until they are all done.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese to room temperature before mixing. Cold cream cheese stays lumpy no matter how much you stir.
- Using real crab instead of imitation crab for more flavor. Imitation crab is milder, but it has the bright color and is more budget-friendly.
- Use Kewpie mayo if you can find it. It's much richer and adds more flavor.
- Chinese mustard adds essential tangy spicy kick that regular mustard can't match. This is what makes it taste like real crab rangoon.
- Dividing the green onions keeps half fresh and bright for topping. Baked green onions get dark and lose their color.
- Watch the wonton chips closely in the air fryer. They go from perfect to burned in seconds.
- Make wonton chips in batches. Overcrowding prevents them from crisping evenly.
- Serve the dip hot and bubbly straight from the oven when the cheese is melted and gooey.
