WHAT YOU NEED-
- Crab– You can use either fresh crab meat or imitation crab meat! I like to do a mix of both for the ultimate crab flavors.
- Cream Cheese– Either classic cream cheese or low-fat cream cheese can be used. For the best results, you want to use softened cream cheese.
- Mayo– To give this dip its creaminess, this recipe calls for mayo. You can use either Kewpie mayo, classic mayo or even Avocado mayo.
- Sour Cream– Adding sour cream also helps thin out the dip and gives creaminess. Either sour cream or plain Greek yogurt can be used.
- Worcestershire– One of the key flavors in the Rangoon dip is the Worcestershire sauce! You do not want to skip this ingredient.
- Soy Sauce– For added flavors, this dip also calls for soy sauce! Either classic or low-sodium soy sauce can be used.
- Cheese– This recipe calls for shredded mozzarella cheese. You can also use shredded Colby jack cheese, taco blend, or even pizza blend.
- Green Onions– Either fresh green onions or chives can be added to this dip. I recommend using fresh green onions!
- Garlic– Freshly minced garlic cloves, jarred minced garlic, or garlic powder can be used. I recommend using freshly minced garlic.
- Black Pepper– For added flavors, use ground black pepper.
- Sweet Chili Sauce– For the final touch, drizzle this creamy crab dip with sweet chili sauce once baked, so GOOD!
