Ingredients

Scale

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
  • 34 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 34 tablespoons garlic chili oil
  • Green onions, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wonton Chips: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line one or two large baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange wonton wrappers in a single layer on the sheets. Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle evenly with kosher salt and black sesame seeds if using. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and transfer chips to a large serving tray.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and garlic powder until smooth and creamy. Ensure the sauce is well combined and slightly runny for easy drizzling.
  3. Assemble the Nachos: Spoon or drizzle the cream cheese sauce evenly over the crispy wonton chips. Sprinkle the chopped imitation crab over the top. Drizzle sweet chili sauce and garlic chili oil over the assembled nachos to taste. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkling of sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Air Fryer Option: To make wonton chips in an air fryer, place wonton pieces in the basket and air fry at 350°F for 4-5 minutes. Be careful as the chips are lightweight and may move around during cooking.
  • You can layer the nachos in smaller pans like an 8×8, but expect a thicker layer due to pan size.
  • For the best cream cheese sauce texture, ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
  • Adjust sweet chili sauce and garlic chili oil quantities according to your spice preference.
