Common Questions About Crab Rangoon Nachos
Can I use imitation crab meat instead of real crab?
Absolutely! Real crab can be tough to get ahold of sometimes, and it certainly isn’t cheap! If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option you can certainly use imitation crab. I love the stuff even though it’s not quite the same.
What if I don’t have a deep fryer for the wonton chips?
No worries! The deep fryer is nice because of all the depth and space you have to fry things. However, a large skillet with vegetable oil works perfectly for frying up those crispy wonton chips.
What’s the best way to serve Crab Rangoon Nachos?
Serve them immediately after assembling to enjoy the crispy texture of the wonton chips with the creamy topping. I like mine piping hot!
Storage
This is a really fun and unique way to have nachos. I use it for the wow factor, haha! If I’m having a group of friends over, it always does the trick.
Refrigerator
Store any leftover cream cheese mixture in an airtight container for up to 3 days. It’s best to make the wonton chips fresh when serving.
Freezer
Not recommended, as the textures of the nachos and cream cheese mixture won’t hold up well.
Tips
Don’t worry, this recipe is really simple to put together. Here are some things to think about as you’re building your masterpiece!
- Use a paper towel to drain the excess oil from the fried wonton chips to keep them crispy.
- If you’re short on time, store-bought crispy wonton chips can be a quick alternative.
- For an extra crunch, sprinkle some black sesame seeds over the top before serving.
- Make sure your cream cheese is softened before mixing to ensure a smooth cream cheese sauce.
