Method of Preparation:

For the Crab Rangoon Dip:

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the crab meat, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly combined.
  4. Fold in the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, mixing well.
  5. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish (8-inch square or similar) and spread it out evenly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and slightly golden.

For the Wonton Chips:

  1. While the dip is baking, prepare the wonton chips. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) if not already done.
  2. Arrange the wonton triangles on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Brush each triangle lightly with vegetable oil and sprinkle with a little salt.
  4. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them, as they can burn quickly.

  2. Serve the warm crab rangoon dip with freshly baked wonton chips on the side.

Tips for Culinary Success:

  1. Use fresh crab meat if possible for the best flavor, but high-quality imitation crab works well too.

  4. Garnish with extra green onions or a drizzle of sweet chili sauce for an extra flavor kick.
  5. Double the recipe for larger gatherings, as this dip is bound to go fast!
