Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Vegetarian chicken strips
- 40 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 100 grams Shiitake mushrooms
- 1 medium-sized Carrot
- 3 stalks Spring onions
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Finely chop the vegetarian chicken strips and set aside.
Clean and finely chop the shiitake mushrooms, grate the carrot, and thinly slice the spring onions.
Peel and grate the ginger, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetarian chicken, shiitake mushrooms, grated carrot, spring onions, ginger, and garlic.
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the filling mixture and combine to help bind the ingredients together.
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
Lightly moisten the edges of each wrapper with water and fold them into a triangle, pressing the edges tightly to seal.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the sealed wontons in the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully add about 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover the pan immediately. Allow the wontons to steam for an additional 3-4 minutes to cook through.
Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until any remaining water evaporates.
Transfer the vegetarian chicken wontons to a serving platter and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
