Ingredients

Scale

Wonton Chips

  • 30 wonton wrappers, sliced in half diagonally
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black sesame seeds (optional)
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Cream Cheese Sauce

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (59.5 g) heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
  • ¼ teaspoon white granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Toppings and Garnish

  • 1 ½ cups imitation crab, chopped
  • 34 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 34 tablespoons garlic chili oil
  • Green onions, chopped, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line one or two large baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Wonton Chips: Arrange the half-wonton wrappers evenly on the prepared baking sheets. Spray them lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle evenly with kosher salt and black sesame seeds if using.
  3. Bake Wonton Chips: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until the wonton chips turn golden brown and become crispy. Remove from the oven and transfer the chips carefully to a large serving tray.
  4. Make Cream Cheese Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese, heavy cream, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil, white sugar, and garlic powder. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Assemble Nachos: Drizzle the creamy sauce over the baked wonton chips. Evenly distribute the chopped imitation crab on top. Next, drizzle sweet chili sauce and garlic chili oil across the assembled nachos to add flavor and a touch of heat.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Finish by sprinkling chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top for added color, flavor, and texture. Serve immediately as a flavorful appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to get a smooth sauce.
  • Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven; watch carefully to avoid burning the wonton chips.
  • You can use fresh crab meat instead of imitation crab for a more authentic flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce and garlic chili oil to your preferred spice level.
  • Wonton chips are best served fresh as they can lose crispiness if stored.
