Delicious Grand Lux Asian Nachos Copy Cat Recipe

Have you ever gone to a restaurant and ordered something that you simply fell in love with? That’s exactly what happened to my wife when she ordered the Asian Nachos, at the Grand Lux Cafe in Chicago.  This is a unique appetizer that has a ton of different flavors.

Since then, my wife has tried and tweaked several Asian nacho recipes and has finally come up with the below recipe.  We think you’re going to love it, so give it a try.  And if you’re ever near a Grand Lux restaurant, give their Asian nachos a try.  You won’t be disappointed.

Asian Nachos Ingredients

Sweet Asian Sauce

Sweet Asian Sauce Instructions

Mix ingredients thoroughly while heating in a saucepan. The sauce should have a sweet, spicy, peanutty taste. Consistency should be syrup-like.

Wonton Chips Instructions

Cut the wonton wrappers in half diagonally. Deep fry them quickly in hot oil, until they are light brown.  Let them drain on paper towels.

Wasabi Cream Sauce

Wasabi Cream Sauce Cooking Instructions

Melt the butter in a small glass bowl in the microwave. Stir in the cream, vinegar, wasabi paste and soy sauce. Taste it, you may want to add salt and pepper. If not spicy enough for you, add a little more wasabi paste.

How To Serve Asian Nachos

Spread wonton chips on a platter, top with chicken and sprinkle with shredded cheese.  Heat/melt the cheese in the oven.  Pour the sweet Asian sauce mixture over the chicken and cheese, immediately before serving.  Drizzle wasabi cream over that. Optional: May want to add crushed peanuts sprinkled on top.
