Dip Ingredients

12 oz softened cream cheese (1 1/2 blocks)
12 oz imitation crab meat, shredded
1 cup shredded white American cheese (or 12 slices)
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp garlic powder

Wonton Chips

12 oz wonton wrappers
Oil for frying (about 1 1/2 inches in a heavy-bottomed pan)

Garnish

1/4 cup sweet and sour sauce
2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
Prepare the Dip: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth and combined. Fold in shredded imitation crab meat, 4 green onions, and ¾ cup of shredded white American cheese. Stir until evenly distributed. Spread the mixture into a baking dish, top with the remaining shredded cheese.
Bake the Dip: Place the baking dish uncovered in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is heated through in the center and bubbly around the edges.
Make Wonton Chips: While the dip bakes, cut wonton wrappers into triangles. Heat about 1 ½ inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Test the oil by dropping a small piece of wonton; it should fry instantly. Fry wonton triangles in batches of 6-7, flipping two to three times for even browning, about 45-60 seconds or less if they brown quickly. When golden brown, use a spider strainer to remove chips from oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the baked dip from the oven, garnish with sweet and sour sauce and additional sliced green onions. Serve warm alongside the crispy wonton chips or your favorite crackers.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
Imitation crab meat can be substituted with real crab meat for a more authentic flavor.
Carefully monitor wonton chips while frying to avoid burning due to their thinness.
Wonton chips can be baked as a healthier alternative by brushing with oil and baking until crispy at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
This dip is best served warm for optimal flavor and texture.
