What’s in Crab Dip?

This crab rangoon dip recipe comes together so effortlessly with simple ingredients. Even though it’s easy to make, it’s super tasty and everyone will be asking for the recipe! See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

• Cream Cheese: Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for about half an hour or take it out of the package and microwave it for 30 seconds. This will help it combine better with the other ingredients.
• Sour Cream: Gives the dip a subtle tang and thins out the the thick cream cheese.
• Mayonnaise: Adds extra creaminess and flavor!
• Sweet Chili Sauce: For a sweet and sour taste that complements the other savory ingredients. Use my recipe to make your own.
• Soy Sauce: Adds a rich umami flavor. I just used regular soy sauce, but you can also choose for low-sodium soy sauce.
• Sriracha Sauce: So your dip has a hint of spice.
• Garlic Powder: To season the dip with the perfect amount of garlic flavor.
• Salt and Pepper: Makes everything taste so good!
• Lump Crab Meat: Look for this in the canned meat aisle by the tuna.
• Monterey Jack Cheese: If you have the time, shred this yourself directly from a block. It will melt better and have more flavor.
• Green Onions: Adds freshness and color.
• Wonton Wrappers: You can bake the wonton wrappers as instructed in this recipe, or make fried wonton chips.
