Instructions
Instructions
1
<strong>Prepare the wonton chips:</strong> If you don't have ready-made chips, cut wonton dough sheets into triangles. Fry them in vegetable oil at 170°C until golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with a pinch of salt.
2
<strong>Start the creamy sauce:</strong> In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the mayonnaise, chopped chives, Sriracha (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, and soy sauce. Mix well until obtaining a homogeneous and creamy paste.
3
<strong>Add the crab:</strong> Incorporate the shredded crab meat into the cream cheese sauce. Mix gently so that the crab is well wrapped without breaking into very small pieces. Season with black pepper and adjust salt, if necessary.
4
<strong>Assemble the nachos:</strong> On a large baking sheet, spread half of the wonton chips. Distribute half of the crab sauce over the chips, using a spoon. Sprinkle with half of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
5
<strong>Additional layers:</strong> Repeat the process with the remaining layer of wonton chips, the crab sauce, and the mozzarella cheese. Make sure the sauce and cheese are well distributed for an even topping.
6
<strong>Bake to melt:</strong> Place the baking dish in the preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 8-12 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly. Watch out not to burn the wontons.
7
<strong>Finish and serve:</strong> Remove from the oven and drizzle generously with sweet chili sauce all over the surface. If desired, add more fresh chives for garnish and an extra touch of color and flavor. Serve immediately to ensure crunchiness.

Chef Tips
- Fry the wonton triangles at 170°C for only 30 to 45 seconds until golden evenly.
- Assemble in two alternating layers of chips, cream, and cheese so that every portion receives a generous filling.
- Bake in the oven at 180°C for 12 to 15 minutes until the mozzarella melts and forms golden bubbles on top.
Variations
- Add thin slices of fresh finger chili or jalapeño on top to accentuate the spiciness.
- Sprinkle toasted black and white sesame seeds over the melted cheese before serving.
- Add small cubes of grilled pineapple to enrich the bittersweet notes of the appetizer.
Substitutions
- Shredded crab meat (kani-kama) can be replaced with pure shredded crab meat or chopped shrimp.
- Wonton chips can be swapped for fried pastel chips or conventional corn tortillas.
- Green chives can be replaced by thinly sliced leeks sautéed beforehand.
How to Store
Keep leftovers in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To recover some of the original crispiness, reheat on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 190°C for 6 to 8 minutes; do not use microwave.
Can You Freeze It?
We do not recommend freezing the assembled dish. The baked cream cheese suffers texture breakdown upon thawing, and the wonton chips completely lose their crispiness, becoming spongy and crumbly.
What to Serve With
Serve with extra sweet chili sauce on the side, chilled lager beer, or iced tea with lemon.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to fry wonton dough without soaking it in vegetable oil?
Keep the oil at a stable temperature of 170°C to 180°C. The wonton dough is very thin and fries in less than 1 minute; remove with a slotted spoon as soon as it puffs up and browns, draining on paper towels.
Can I bake the wonton dough in the oven instead of frying in oil?
Yes. Brush the wonton dough triangles with olive oil or vegetable oil, arrange on a large baking sheet without overlapping, and bake at 190°C for about 6 to 8 minutes until dry, golden, and crispy.
Which crab meat is most suitable for this appetizer?
You can use either cooked shredded crab meat or finely shredded kani-kama. Both absorb the seasoning of the cream cheese, garlic powder, green onion and soy sauce perfectly.
How to prevent the chips at the bottom of the baking sheet from getting soft?
Distribute the cream cheese in small spoonfuls over the chips, without covering the entire surface at once. The free areas maintain the crunchy texture and the hot air circulates between the layers.
