Wonton Chips
- 30 wonton wrappers, sliced in half diagonally
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black sesame seeds, optional
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
- 1 ½ cups imitation crab, chopped
- 3–4 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 3–4 tablespoons garlic chili oil
- Green onions, for garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Prepare Wonton Chips: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line large baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange wonton wrapper halves evenly on the sheets. Spray them lightly with cooking spray and season with kosher salt and, if desired, black sesame seeds. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven and transfer to a large serving tray.
- Make Cream Cheese Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together cream cheese, heavy cream, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and garlic powder until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Nachos: Spoon the cream cheese sauce over the wonton chips, then evenly distribute the chopped imitation crab atop. Drizzle sweet chili sauce and garlic chili oil over the top. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- The wonton chips can be made in an air fryer by placing wonton pieces into the basket and air frying at 350°F for 4-5 minutes, but they may be light and blow around due to air circulation.
- For a homemade chili sauce, experiment with recipes combining chili paste, vinegar, and sugar for a sweet and spicy flavor.
- This recipe is best served fresh for maximum crispiness of the wonton chips.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure the sauce whisks smoothly without lumps.
