This recipe was very disappointing. There is WAY too much soy sauce, which overpowered everything else. Will not be making this again. Even cutting back on the soy sauce, it still wouldn't taste like a crab rangoon. Simply awful.

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.

I was very disappointed in this recipe. Too much soy sauce, not very eye appealing, the paprika was too bitter. I would never make it again.

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!

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 agree with other reviewers saying there is too much crab...other than that we really liked. Thanks for the post.

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.

Does NOT taste like crab rangoon, too much soy sauce and ginger and not enough cream cheese. I made this for Easter and NO ONE touched it!! I would pick a different carb rangoon recipe.

It was quick and easy, but I didn't like the results. It wasn't creamy at all! I am going to try again and AT LEAST double the cream cheese. I used minced garlic and minced ginger root from a jar as well as imitation crab meat, which seemed ok. Definitely needs some green onions. I served Duck Sauce on the side and just used tortilla chips (couldn't find any wontons around here!) I'll give it another shot!

This may be a variation of Crab Rangoons, but there is way too much crab vs cream cheese. I had to double the cream cheese to somewhat get away from what looked like Tuna Salad. Maybe the crabmeat I used was too good for the recipe (I used claw meat.) I'm guessing the basic white canned crabmeat, or even surimi would work better. And, you MUST add green onion...

I have to say I loved this dip as well as all my guests...BUT I didn't really think it tasted like crab rangoon. Either way it's a new 'Go-To' recipe for me.

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??

I didn't really like this. I'm giving it 3 stars because the duck sauce that I bought was too peachy and I think that's mostly what ruined the flavor.

I would cut back on the amount of the crab meat the next time I make it. I crab over powered the cream cheese and you didn't notice that it was even there. I also left off the sauce over everything. It wasn't missed.

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!
