Recipe Ingredients

Ingredients needed to make the dip

For Sweet and Sour Dip

  • Sour cream: I like to use a full-fat sour cream, but you can use a low-fat one if you prefer.
  • Cream cheese: The cream cheese should be at room temperature so that it is easy to combine.
  • Sweet and sour sauce: Use your favorite brand. I used La Choy.
  • Veggies: Green bell pepper, red bell pepper, spring onions, carrot.
  • Cilantro: for that fresh flavor.
  • Sriracha: for that slight heat kick, highly recommend adding this!
  • Salt and pepper: Added to taste.
  • Sesame seeds: Optional for garnishing.

For wonton chips

  • Wonton wrappers: You can get wonton wrappers in my superstores or find them in Asian grocers.
  • Oil: It's easiest to use spray oil for this recipe.
  • Sea salt: Added to taste for seasoning.

Step by step instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F, line the baking sheet with aluminum foil, and lightly spray it with cooking oil.

Making the baked wonton chips

1 - Cut each wonton wrapper into triangles. Place them in a single layer leaving some space between two. Lightly spray some oil on these and sprinkle some sea salt.

2 - Bake for total of 6-8 mins turning half way through until crispy and golden. Let them cool on pan for 5 mins and then transfer to a plate/cooling rack to cool further.

3 & 4 - In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, sour cream and sweet and sour sauce and mix till well combined.

5 - Stir in the veggies - green and red bell pepper, spring onions (green and white), carrots, cilantro, and finally salt and pepper.

6 - Mix till well combined. If you like it spicy add the Sriracha sauce, you can skip this too but highly recommend it since it adds a hint of spice and garlic flavor to this dip.

Creamy and delicious Sweet and Sour Asian Dip is ready. Wait no more, garnish with some sesame seeds and spring onion greens and serve it with these crispy Wonton Chips,  Enjoy!!

Recipe Notes and Tips

  • Soften the cream cheese so that it is easy to combine. I like to take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before I'm ready to make the recipe.
  • Alternately, you can microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften it slightly, making it easier to mix.
  • Cut the veggies into small similar-sized pieces so they evenly disperse in the sauce.
  • Keep the sweet and sour dip covered in the fridge until you are ready to serve it.

Frequently Asked Qeustions

Can you make it ahead of time?

Yes, this is a great make ahead appetizer. The dip will keep well covered in the fridge for 2 to 3 days and the wonton chips can be stored in an air tight container at room temperature for up to a week.

What other seasonings can you use for wonton chips?

I like to bake these chips with just a little sea salt, but you can easily make them to your tastes by adding other seasonings before baking. Paprika, cumin, black pepper, grated parmesan and garlic salt all work well.

What do you serve the dip with?

The wonton chips work really well with this Asian dip, but you can also serve it with breadsticks, veggie sticks or pretzels.

    This was a big hit for my foodie guests! I only put 1 tbsp of the sweet and sour and that worked great. Will definitely make again for future parties.

    This was delicious. I used way more of the hot sauce but it would have been fine just as written. Everyone asked for the recipe. I doubled it expecting to have leftovers but it’s gone.

    I made it along side my Ahi Tuna Tataki platter. It was a bit sweet for me but I am not a big fan
    of sweet dips BUT....it was a hit at my gourmet group! I will definitely make again!! The Won Ton chips...perfect. I have been making Won Ton crackers for many years to serve with my hummus tray but these are so much quicker! Making again tomorrow for dinner guests!
