Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Vegan shrimp
- 150 g Firm tofu
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 30 pieces Vegan wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- as needed Water
Instructions
Crumble the firm tofu onto a clean kitchen towel and gently press to remove excess moisture.
Finely chop the vegan shrimp into small pieces. Place them in a mixing bowl.
Mince the garlic and ginger and add them to the bowl with the vegan shrimp.
Thinly slice the green onions and add them to the bowl.
Add the crumbled tofu, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch to the bowl. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is well combined.
Lay out a vegan wonton wrapper on a clean surface and place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center.
Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little water using your finger.
Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle, and press the edges to seal, ensuring there are no air bubbles. Optionally fold the two bottom corners together to create a traditional wonton shape.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Once hot, carefully add the wontons in a single layer, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons from the pan and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the vegan prawn wontons hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
