Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Dip:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz lump crab meat, drained and flaked
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced (reserve some for garnish)
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce

For the Wonton Chips:

  • 24 wonton wrappers, cut diagonally into triangles
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wonton Chips:

    • Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
    • Fry wonton wrapper triangles in batches until golden and crispy, about 30 seconds per side.
    • Remove and drain on paper towels; immediately sprinkle with salt.

  2. Prepare the Dip:

    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • In a large bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth.
    • Stir in soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, Sriracha, and minced garlic.
    • Fold in crab meat, green onions (reserving some for garnish), and ¾ cup of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
    • Transfer mixture to a greased 2-quart baking dish.
    • Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup of cheese on top.
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly and slightly golden.

  3. Garnish and Serve:

    • Drizzle baked dip with Thai sweet chili sauce.
    • Garnish with reserved green onions.
    • Serve warm with crispy wonton chips.

Notes

  • Crab Meat: Fresh lump crab meat is ideal, but well-drained canned crab or imitation crab can be used as substitutes.
  • Wonton Chips Alternative: For a lighter option, bake the wonton triangles at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes until crisp, or serve the dip with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks.
  • Make-Ahead: Assemble the dip up to a day in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Allow it to come to room temperature before baking.
