This was a big hit at a recent family gathering. I will definitely be using this recipe again. Be sure to bake the wontons long enough. I think I had to bake them 6-7 minutes. You want them crispy. YUM!
My whole family really enjoyed this dip! I've now used the cream cheese mixture in several other recipes with great results!
This is the first time I really couldn't eat some kind of dip. I'll dip just about anything. I even followed the recommendations for modification and it still just tasted like soy sauce flavored cream cheese. The toasted wontons were good though!
I agree with other reviewers saying there is too much crab...other than that we really liked. Thanks for the post.
Hmmm... these were easy to make and fun too. Based on other's reviews I cut the crab in half and was glad. I also omitted the ginger root as I forgot to pick it up at the store... missed it a little but not tons. These weren't as creamy as I'd hoped... wonder what would happen if you added more cream cheese??
Not super impressed with the idea of this dip being cold. It wasn't bad but I think I will use it for the filling in homemade crab rangoon!
I liked it pretty well. Not my idea of rangoon really but I thought it was good. My family however did not. That being said I won't be making it again.:( Good recipe though. Just can't justify making it if I'm the only one going to eat it.
I don't know what everyone else is talking about. I made this recipe exactly as the recipe called for. I made no modifications and it was wonderful. If you ask me it tasted exactly like crab rangoon filling. I took it to an asian inspired party and everyone LOVED it. I think the people who reviewed it and didn't like it made too many changes to the original recipe.
This is a GREAT recipe but I have ALWYAS served it HOT never cold. Hah! I just realized that I mis-read the original recipe but for those of you who had it cold I would strongly urge you to give it one more shot but try baking it until it's hot and bubbly. Cold just sounds nasty. In addition I used low-fat cream cheese and instead of duck sauce my friends and I all liked it with hot chile sauce (sambal olek or some other Thai-style hot red sauce). I also added some thinly sliced scallions or green onions for a little extra zip and crunch. I get requests for 'my' recipe all the time.
