Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1.5 cups (340 grams) crab meat, shredded
Cheese and Dairy:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (113 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) sour cream
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Serving Suggestion:

Instructions
- Blend cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, sugar, and sesame oil in a large mixing bowl until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Incorporate shredded crab meat, chopped green onions, and most of the mozzarella cheese into the creamy mixture, stirring gently to maintain delicate texture.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking dish by transferring the entire mixture, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Scatter the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top, creating a light, cheesy coating.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until the dip becomes hot, bubbling, and the cheese melts into a golden surface.
- Carefully remove the dish from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes, enabling the flavors to settle and the temperature to become more manageable.
- Serve the dip while still warm, accompanied by crispy wonton chips or your preferred crackers for a delightful appetizer experience.
Notes
- Enhance flavor by using fresh lump crab meat for a more authentic and rich seafood taste.
- Adjust seasoning levels by gradually adding soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce to match personal preference.
- Make it gluten-free by substituting regular soy sauce with tamari and using gluten-free wonton chips or crackers.
- Prepare ahead by assembling the dip up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerating, then baking just before serving for maximum convenience.
