My Best Tips for the Perfect Crab Rangoon Dip
- Use real crab for the best flavor – Imitation crab works, but real lump crab adds a more authentic taste.
- Want extra crispiness? – Top the dip with crushed wonton strips before baking.
- Make it spicy – Add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes for heat.
- Use room-temperature cream cheese – It makes mixing much easier.
What to Serve with Crab Rangoon Dip
This dip is best served with crispy, crunchy dippers. Here are some great options:
- Wonton chips – Cut wonton wrappers into triangles, fry or bake until crispy.
- Crackers or pita chips – Great for scooping up the creamy dip.
- Crispy baguette slices – Adds a nice crunch.
- Sliced cucumbers or bell peppers – A fresh, low-carb option.
