Crab rangoons are a crowd-favorite Chinese restaurant appetizer in the US. Even for me, it’s always part of our family’s order whenever we get Chinese takeout. They’re creamy, cheesy, and tangy, which are the makings for delicious starters that are simply irresistable.

Having said that, you can also turn them into a scrumptious dip. Perfect for parties, potlucks, or just snacking in general!

I also have these crab rangoon recipes for you to try:

Crab Rangoon Dip

A seasoned crab meat and cream cheese mixture is combined together, then covered with shredded cheese, before baked to perfection.

This is an easy dip recipe that only takes 15 minutes of active prep time before you just put it in the oven.

What to serve them with

Serve with a side of crispy wonton chips for a deconstructed twist on the classic crab rangoon dish!

You can also enjoy these with other snacks, like tortilla chips or pita chips. However, I do recommend pairing this up with the addictive Crispy Air Fried Crab Stick Crackers.

Ingredients

(For full ingredient measurements, please proceed to the recipe card below.)

  • Cream cheese: softened at room temperature
  • Imitation crab meat: shredded or chopped up roughly
  • Light soy sauce
  • Japanese mayo
  • Rice vinegar
  • Sugar
  • Pepper
  • Shredded sharp cheddar
  • Green onions
  • Sweet chili sauce (optional but highly recommend)

Cheese topping

  • Shredded sharp cheddar
  • Sliced or shredded mozzarella (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F and prepare all the ingredients.
  2. Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Sweet chili sauce is optional but highly recommended.
  3. Transfer the crab rangoon mixture to a greased oven safe dish and smooth out the surface. Add mozzarella and sharp cheddar on top.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Remove from oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving with chips. Garnish with green onions. Enjoy!

Notes for Creamy Crab Rangoon Dip

  • Softened cream cheese will make it easier to mix.
  • Feel free to use actual crab meat instead of imitation crab meat.
  • You can either slice the crab meat thinly or add chunks. I prefer texture for my dip so I chopped the crab meat roughly so I can get chunks of the crab meat.
  • You can use shredded or sliced mozzarella or just skip the mozzarella and just use sharp cheddar for the cheese topping.
  • Alternatively, if you are short on time and don’t mind a cold dip– serve without baking and the cheese topping and serve after mixing it.

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Mee (mie) goreng, a quick and easy stir fried noodles recipe that’s great for lunch or dinner. Popular in Malaysia and neighboring countries like Indonesia and Singapore— with each country having their own version of it. Chewy noodles infused with spicy, tangy and savory flavors, and ready within 30 minutes!
This is definitely not an authentic recipe but a simplified version that my mother-in-law makes often and now a recipe that I make quite a lot for a quick breakfast using ingredients easily accessible to us here. It definitely hits the spot! Feel free to add protein of your choice to this dish or just add a fried egg on top!

Repost because some people said there was no audio yesterday 🥲
Try these Crispy Air Fried Crab Stick Crackers for size. A classic snack that could almost always be seen during Chinese New Year festivities in Malaysia. All you need are some crab sticks, a bit of seasoning, and a few tablespoons of oil!
This is such an easy and addictive snack. I always have to make a lot if I’m sharing because I tend to finish the first batch all by myself 😂

Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
