Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 1 medium Carrot, finely grated
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 30 pieces Wonton wrappers
- as needed Water
- 3 tablespoons Chili oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (for sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Press the tofu to remove excess water by placing it between two plates and weighing it down for 10 minutes. Crumble the tofu into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled tofu, grated carrot, chopped green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili flakes. Mix until evenly combined.
Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the tofu mixture in the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper into a triangle, pressing the edges to seal tightly. Then, bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together and pinch to form the classic wonton shape. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently add the wontons to the water and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together chili oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar to create the spicy sauce.
To serve, place cooked wontons in a bowl and drizzle with the spicy sauce. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
