Instructions
- Prepare the Crab Rangoon Filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded imitation crab meat, sliced green onions, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, white pepper, and sweet chili sauce (if using). Mix well until evenly combined. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld (optional).
- Make the Wonton Chips: Cut wonton wrappers into triangles or leave as squares. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry wonton wrappers in batches for 30-60 seconds per side, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
- Assemble the Nachos: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) (optional). Spread wonton chips in a single layer on a baking sheet or platter. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheese. Spoon Crab Rangoon filling over the cheese.
- Bake (Optional): Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle with sweet chili sauce, sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds (if using). Serve immediately.
