How to make crab rangoon dip
This crab rangoon dip is straightforward to prepare, and the best part? You can make it ahead of time!
Ingredients you’ll need
- 12 ounces (2 cans) white crab meat, drained
- 12 ounces room-temperature cream cheese
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 3 sliced scallions
- 2 teaspoons sriracha
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- Thai sweet chili sauce, for serving
For the best outcome, consider using real crab meat, which can be found in most grocery stores alongside tuna. Alternatively, for those who prefer it, imitation crab can be used, but it’s essential to note shellfish allergies.
Making this recipe
Begin by preparing your wonton chips. Cut the wonton wrappers diagonally and either deep-fry in vegetable oil until golden or air fry them until crispy.

To prepare the dip, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, blend together all the ingredients—except for half of the cheese—until well-combined. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, top with the remaining cheese, and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and bubbly. Allow the dip to cool slightly before serving it with the wonton chips.
Make-ahead tips
You can prepare the dip in advance. Mix it up, cover, and store it in the fridge for up to a day. If using a glass or ceramic dish, let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking. If starting cold, expect to add a few more minutes to the baking time.
Serving suggestions
This dip is mouth-wateringly delicious when drizzled with Thai sweet chili sauce. Pair it with homemade wonton chips, tortilla chips, or even fresh veggies. Local Asian markets often have unique chip options that complement this dip perfectly.
