This was a wonderful surprise to come across this Easy Crab Rangoon Dip & Keto Chips. And, when I started my journey on a Keto diet, I came across this recipe and I was so excited that I could still enjoy some of my favorite snacks. Furthermore, it was by far the Best and Easy Crab Rangoon Dip and Keto Chips Recipe I’ve ever tasted. Moreover, it is made with crab, cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, lemon juice, and seasonings. Although, I was excited, I did not have to give up my comfort foods – and it was shockingly easy to make! 

The Best and Easy Crab Rangoon Dip and Chip Recipe I’ve ever tasted; made with crab, cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, lemon juice, and seasonings.

Although, I’ve been having adverse reaction soy sauce. That has been cutting back on my sodium intake. And, as I researched this subject I found that Liquid coconut aminos are used as an alternative to soy or tamari sauce. One is soy-based and the other is coconut aminos. But, since the coconut aminos have no soy, I use it for cooking, sauces, and dips; in place of the soy sauce. Though, some people use it, to up their intake of protein; for those who are eating a vegan or a vegetarian diet. 

Origin

Crab Rangoon was on the menu of the “Polynesian-style” restaurant Trader Vic’s in San Francisco since at least 1956. Although, the appetizer is allegedly derived from an authentic Burmese recipe, the dish was probably invented in the United States by Victor Bergeron, found of Trader Vic’s. A “Rangoon crab a la jack” was mentioned as a dish at a Hawaiian-style party in 1952, but without further detail, and so may or may not be the same thing. There is additional evidence that Wayne Schmidt helped commercially develop the dish as a popular appetizer in the Mid-West in the early 1980’s, along with the bacon wrapped pancake.

Though the history of Crab Rangoon is unclear, cream cheese-like other cheese—is essentially nonexistent in Southeast Asian and Chinese cuisine, so it is unlikely that the dish is actually of east or southeast Asian origin.

Is Liquid Aminos healthy?

For those looking to cut back on sodium, coconut aminos (we love this one) would be the best option. At 90 milligrams of sodium per teaspoon, it’s lower than both low-sodium soy sauces (192 milligrams/teaspoon) and its soy-based liquid aminos (320 milligrams/teaspoon) counterparts.

Another major health factor is that both liquid and coconut aminos are MSG-free. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is derived from the sodium salt of glutamate, an amino acid found in protein-rich foods.

Looking for a crunchy keto chip to snack on or to enjoy that are delicious and good for you.

With, these chips, I use a mix of almond flour and the Perfect Blend Flour with two types of cheeses, which mimics the texture of a corn tortilla chip – they are crispy, crunchy, and stand up well in salsa and dips, plus, make great Keto nacho chips.

There are various ways to flavor the chips any way you want; salt and pepper, garlic powder, olive oil, cumin, lime juice, truffle salt, Rosemary, basil or any herbs you like!

These homemade chips are a welcoming change and are easy to make and have less than 1g carbs per serving. As a matter of fact, they are truly satisfying when you’re craving crunchy snacks.

These tortilla chips are based on the fathead dough tortilla chip recipe, I saw on Pinterest and modified quite a bit to get the flavor I craved from a tortilla chip.

May I suggest

We have an amazing white wine blend that will pair well with the crab. A glass of the 2016 Carmel Ridge Sauvignon Blanc is delicious. You can expect this wine to showcase a medium-bodied taste with a round mid-pallet experience that finishes with an amazing burst of crisp acidity. After a full taste of this wine, you’ll notice that your pallet experiences a refreshing wash of nectarine, melon, and even a hint of lime zest.
