Seafood Corn Cheese Dip

February 11, 2022

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

seafood corn cheese dip

We all love a good corn cheese at korean bbq, but once you try this seafood version, there’s no going back. This seafood corn cheese is more savory (from the seafood) and has a really nice bite from the shrimp!

When adding some cream cheese and chopped up imitation crab, the dish reminds me a lot of crab rangoons, but without the hassle of frying wontons. You can eat this as a chip dip and have the crunch of the potato chip. I also dipped this in some pork belly and it was amazing too!

Don’t miss this delicious dip for your superbowl party or next korean bbq sesh!

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR YOUR SEAFOOD CORN CHEESE

  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 tbs neutral oil
  • 1/4 white onion, chopped
  • 1/2 green onion (white part only, sliced)
  • 3 sticks imitation crab, chopped
  • 3 shrimp, de-veined and peeled, chopped in small pieces
  • 2 ounces cream cheese (optional- used for extra creaminess!), softened
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella mixed in
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella on top

for garnish:

  • 1/2 green onion (green part), sliced
  • kimchi

STEPS TO MAKE THE SEAFOOD CORN CHEESE:

  1. Cut corn on the cob or you can set aside 1 cup of frozen or canned corn. Traditionally in Korea, canned corn is used because its extra sweet! Chop green onions (separate white and green parts) and white onions. Set aside.
  2. Heat saucepan to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon neutral oil. Once the oil is hot, add corn, green onions, and white onion. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Lightly seasoning throughout cooking helps bring out the flavor of the ingredients. Saute until corn is golden (roughly 5 minutes). Set corn aside in a bowl and cool down for a few minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. Chop up some imitation crab and shrimp in small pieces. Add in the same bowl as the corn. Then, add 2 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup mayo, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, pinch of black pepper, and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella. Mix together.
  5. Add mixture on an oven safe dish. Top with more shredded mozzarella. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. If you want the top to be golden brown, broil on high for 2 minutes or until desired golden brown. Garnish with sliced green onions.
  6. Top with some kimchi (optional, but highly recommended) for a nice acidic contrast to the heavy dip! Eat seafood corn cheese with your korean bbq (pork belly, brisket, etc. ). Or eat this as a dip with salted kettle chips. Hope you enjoy!

My childhood comfort food! 👧🏻 I always look My childhood comfort food! 👧🏻 I always look forward to when my mom would make cheung fun or Hong Kong rice noodles for me as a kid on her way to work on saturday and sunday mornings. Hong Kong rice noodles are known as Cheung fun (腸粉) in Cantonese. Cheung Fun is a popular street snack in Hong Kong and is often served as a dim sum item. These rice noodles are super soft & jiggly after steaming. The rice noodles consists of many layers of noodles so it’s perfect for adding sauces on top. I recommend sauces like XO sauce (dried scallop and shrimp chili oil), hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, and oyster sauce for the ultimate food bite! 

google ‘rice noodle dana’ for full recipe or click link in bioooo! 💖 have a lovely weekend my dumplings!

Currently dreaming of this hong kong french toast Currently dreaming of this hong kong french toast and milk tea combo for brekkies 💭My secret ingredient for my hong kong french toast is dairy milk! I dip shokupan (Japanese white bread or asian style white bread) in dairy milk which really helps soften the bread for extra fluffiness and then dip in egg batter and panko bread crumbs (non-traditional method but SO GOOD!) for that extra crispy bite 😋#gonnaneedmilk

Not only is milk a great ingredient for cooking, milk contains 4 B vitamins, which helps our bodies convert food into energy. So essentially the milk in milk tea is a quick and easy way to kickstart your busy day with energy. If you’re lactose intolerant, don’t worry, lactose-free milk  has all the same nutritional benefits as traditional milk! So… when are you trying this recipe?

My new favorite soup right now 😍Here’s a supe My new favorite soup right now 😍Here’s a super easy and not traditional Korean ox bone soup aka Seolleongtang 설렁탕 🥰 Super hot bone broth is topped with beautifully marbled beef, Chinese chives, green onions, and some salt and pepper to taste. Add some Korean kimchi radish and it’s chef’s kiss!

See blog post for more detail on the ingredients (like which bone broth I bought) and full recipe ◡̈ You gotta use somen noodles for this recipe. It only takes 3 minutes to make. Tip: boil noodles at the same time as the broth to make cooking fast🍜

Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this turnip cake recipe aka loh bok go in cantonese. Gung Hey Fat Choy ([恭喜发财] my dumplings! PS. I don’t recommend saying lai see dou loi unless you’re very close to that relative or you are a young child lol

Full recipe is linked in bio or find on my bloggg 🧧🐰

I finally finished testing out this recipe (it’s beeen a few months haha)! I was struggling with the texture for a little while. Now, the recipe is good to go ◡̈  The flavor is very savory from the chinese sausage and cured pork belly (made from my dad!) and also sweet from the radish. The texture is firm but not too doughy because I loaded this up with lots and lots of radish. You will never find a restaurant that has as much radish as this homemade recipe. Lastly, I pan fried the turnip cake to give it a nice crisp at the end. 

Don’t forget Chinese New Year is celebrated on the eve (21st of January!) so have a nice dinner with your family on Saturday. Then my mom told me to not clean or do any labor on actual Chinese New Years Day (22nd of January). Wishing all you dumplings good health and wealth in the upcoming year.

This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Ch This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Chinese restaurant 😋Silken tofu is cooked in a sweet chicken broth and cornstarch slurry is added to thicken the soup as well as make the smooth & thick texture. 

Some Cantonese restaurants serve this with real crab meat (highly recommend if you have this!) and the color is on the whiter end (hence why we’re using egg whites!). However, if you want to use the whole egg, feel free to use it! The egg yolk makes the soup more yellow and creamy. 

You can google ‘cook with dana egg drop soup’ for full recipe or find it in my link in bio! Hope you have a wonderful week my dumplings and can’t wait to show you my Chinese New Year recipes!

Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) o Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) or korean seafood pancake is a great recipe to use all your leftover ingredients in the fridge. For groceries, I always use the ‘first in, first out’ method meaning the older groceries need to be used before eating the new stuff. I’m chopping up leftover vegetables and onions in small pieces and mixing them together with imitation crab. The pancake may taste different depending on what ingredients you have but once you mix it with eggs and some flour (especially korean pancake mix!), it will taste scrumptious in it’s own unique way. 

The next time you stock up, make sure to keep some type of seafood in the freezer at all times. For me, I tend to buy extra imitation crab and shrimp. Then you will always have good staples to make with your leftover ingredients. 

Check link in bio for recipe or google ‘crab jeon dana’ to find full recipe and directions ◡̈ Stay dry california dumplings, there’s lots of rain here haha.
