Deconstructed Crab Rangoon Dip
- 1 package Cream Cheese (8 Oz. Package)
- 1/4 cups Sweet Red Chili Sauce
- 1/2 cups Flaked Snow Crab Meat
- 2 whole Green Onions, Finely Chopped
- 1/2 cups Vegetable Oil, For Frying
- 12 whole Wonton Skins Or Flour Tortilla Wedges, For Frying
- On a large flat platter, spread an even layer of the cream cheese.
- Then spread the Sweet Red Chili Sauce over the cream cheese.
- Top with the flaked snow crab, chopped green onions and you are good to go!
- As far as the crab goes, I really do recommend just picking up a couple frozen legs from your seafood department vs. the canned crab.
- It will end up costing you about the same (if youre buying real crab meat) and the flavor difference is night and day.
- Just slowly defrost the crab legs before preparing (you can do this by placing the legs in a large Ziploc and setting it in your sink under room temperature running water).
- Once defrosted, crack the crag legs and remove all the meat.
- For dipping, I love homemade fried wonton skins or a crispy flour tortilla wedge.
- This will only take a few minutes, just heat a bit of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pan.
- A fun trick to tell when your oil is ready is to take a wooden spoon, flip it upside down and dip the non-stirring end of the spoon in the oil.
- If it begins to sizzle and bubble around the handle, your oil is ready!
- Drop the wontons skins or tortillas in the oil and watch closelythey will brown up very fast.
- Flip sides if you need to and remove, draining any excess oil on a paper towel.
- Sprinkle with a bit of salt and youre good to go!
