Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams vegan prawn/shrimp substitute
- 50 grams water chestnuts
- 3 pieces spring onions
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 30 pieces wonton wrappers
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Finely chop the vegan prawn substitute, water chestnuts, and spring onions, and place them in a mixing bowl.
Grate the ginger and mince the garlic, then add them to the bowl.
Add soy sauce and sesame oil to the bowl and mix everything until well combined to form the filling.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry.
Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center.
Dip your finger into the cornstarch slurry and run it along the edges of the wrapper.
Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing out any air and sealing the edges securely.
Bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together to form a wonton shape and press them together with a dab of cornstarch slurry to seal.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
Carefully add the wontons to the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove wontons from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the vegetarian prawn wontons hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
