Categories     Crab Dip

Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced, divided
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
8 ounces imitation crabmeat
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart or 8x8-inch baking dish.
  • Reserve 1 tablespoon green onions for garnish. Combine the remaining onions with cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, Sriracha, soy sauce, lemon zest, and lemon juice and stir until well blended. Fold in crabmeat and pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 20 minutes. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce and sprinkle with reserved green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
  • While dip bakes, heat oil in a medium saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Fry 5 to 6 pieces of wonton at a time in batches, flipping several times throughout, until golden, bubbly, and crisp, about 30 seconds. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle immediately with salt. Repeat with remaining wontons and serve immediately with dip. (Alternatively, these chips could be made the day before, cooled completely, and stored in airtight containers).

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweet and delicate flavor, while frozen crab meat can be tough and bland.
  • Chop the crab meat finely. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the wontons.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the filling. This will add flavor and texture to the wontons.
  • Don't overfill the wontons. If you do, they will be difficult to seal and may burst during cooking.
  • Cook the wontons in a pot of boiling water until they float to the top. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve the wontons with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil.

Conclusion:

Crab wontons are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that are perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover crab meat. So next time you have some crab on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
