Equipment

  • Cooling Rack

Ingredients
  

Dip 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 shredded or finely chopped
  • 1 ½ cups Monterey Jack cheese freshly shredded
  • ½ cup green onions sliced

Crispy Wonton Chips

  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 12-ounce package wonton wrappers sliced in half diagonally

Instructions
 

Dip Preparation

  • 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.
  • Enjoy with crispy wonton chips, buttery crackers, or tortilla chips.

Wonton Chips Preparation

  • 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.
  • 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 the remaining wonton wrappers.

Notes

For the best flavor, use canned lump crab or fresh crab meat if available. Imitation crab is a budget-friendly alternative. Assemble the dip up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate. It will last up to 4 days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container.
