Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 pieces Wonton wrappers (vegan)
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 1 medium Carrot, finely grated
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 100 grams Mushrooms, finely chopped
- 100 grams Cabbage, finely shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Press it gently to remove excess moisture, then crumble the tofu into a large mixing bowl.
Add the grated carrot, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped mushrooms, and shredded cabbage to the bowl with the tofu. Mix well.
Season the mixture with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Take a wonton wrapper and place it on a clean, dry surface. Spoon about a teaspoon of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger into a bowl of water and moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper into a triangle by bringing the opposite corners together and pressing to seal the edges. Make sure there are no air pockets.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil's readiness by gently placing a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
Carefully add the wontons in batches to the hot oil. Fry them for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried wontons from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve the vegan crispy fried wontons warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
