Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes, you can substitute the mozzarella cheese with another shredded cheese you like, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend.
What if I don’t have real crabmeat?
Imitation crabmeat works perfectly in this recipe.
I don’t like Sriracha, can I leave it out?
Absolutely! The recipe is already flavorful without it. You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a touch of heat.
Can I use a different dipping option besides wonton chips?
Yes! This dip goes well with various dippers like crackers, bread slices, crudités (cut vegetables), or even crispy rice cakes.
How can I tell when the dip is done baking?
The dip is done when it’s heated through and bubbly around the edges.You can also insert a toothpick in the center and it should come out clean.
My wonton chips are burning too quickly! What can I do?
Make sure the oil is not too hot. It should be shimmering but not smoking. Reduce the heat slightly if needed.
Can I make the dip ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the dip mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bake it before serving.

Make the Dip: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth. Stir in the minced garlic, green onions, crabmeat, mozzarella cheese, soy sauce, Sriracha (if using), Worcestershire sauce, and Thai sweet chili sauce. Mix well until everything is incorporated.
Prepare the Wonton Wrappers: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cut the wonton wrappers into triangles or squares.
Fry the Wonton Chips (optional): Working in batches, carefully add the wonton wrappers to the hot oil. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked chips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers.
Bake the Dip: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the crab rangoon dip mixture to a small baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly around the edges.
Serve: Serve the warm crab rangoon dip with the crispy wonton chips for dipping. Enjoy!

If you don’t have Sriracha, you can substitute with a few dashes of hot sauce to taste.
For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
You can also bake the wonton chips in the oven instead of frying them. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), lightly spray the wonton wrappers with cooking spray, and bake for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
