Equipment

Ingredients

Dip

12 oz softened cream cheese (1 ½ blocks)
12 oz imitation crab meat shredded
1 cup shredded white American cheese (or 12 slices)
⅓ cup sour cream
⅓ cup mayonnaise
4 green onions thinly sliced
1 ½ teaspoon sugar
1 ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Won Ton Chips

12 oz wonton wrappers

Garnish

¼ cup sweet and sour sauce
2 green onions thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Make the dip. In a large bowl, add cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and garlic powder. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Add imitation crab meat, 4 green onions, and ¾ cup of the shredded cheese, stir until combined.
Spread mixture into baking dish, top with remaining shredded cheese, bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until heated in the middle and bubbly around the edges.
Make the wonton chips. While the dip bakes, fry the wonton chips.
Cut wonton wrappers into triangles.
Heat 1 ½ inches of oil, in a heavy bottomed pan, on medium-high heat. Test oil by dropping in a small piece of wonton wrapper; wrapper will begin to fry instantly when oil is ready. Fry in batches of 6-7, flipping two or three times for even browning, 45- 60 seconds or less if wontons brown quickly.
When wonton chips are golden brown, use a spider strainer move chips from hot oil to a paper-towel lined plate.
Garnish dip and serve. Remove dip from the oven when done; garnish with sweet and sour sauce and additional green onion. Serve warm with wonton chips or crackers.

Notes

Use an electric mixer to blend dip ingredients to save time and create a smooth, creamy texture.
Preparing ahead of time: Dip mixture can be mixed 3-4 hours in advance. Cover mixture and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. To bake, spread mixture in pan and bake at 350ºF. Dip may need an additional 5-10 minutes, and stirred halfway through baking, to heat through.
If you can't find shredded American cheese, check at the deli or use sliced American cheese, cut into thin strips.
Turn down the heat if wonton chips brown too quickly.
