This fresh, tasty dip takes its inspiration from crab rangoon, delightful cream and crab cheese filled wonton puffs popular at Chinese American buffets.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Beat together the cream cheese and milk in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  2. Combine the crabmeat, water chestnuts, mustard, onion, Worcestershire, soy sauce, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl and toss gently to combine.
  3. Spread out the cream cheese mixture in an even layer in a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Spread the sweet-and-sour sauce on top, leaving about a 1-inch border of cream cheese all around. Spoon the crab mixture on top of the sweet-and-sour sauce. The dip can be prepared up to this point and refrigerated, covered, overnight.
  4. Just before serving, scatter the lettuce, scallions and cilantro over the crab, leaving a 1-inch border all around. Serve with wonton skins, shrimp chips or rice crackers.
