Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Konjac-based shrimp substitute
- 30 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 100 grams Shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- Water
Instructions
Prepare the filling by finely chopping the konjac-based shrimp substitute and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Add the finely chopped green onions, shiitake mushrooms, ginger, and garlic to the bowl.
Mix in soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water to help seal.
Fold the wrapper into a triangular shape, pressing the edges to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets.
Bring the two opposite corners of the triangle together, forming a small pouch, and press them to seal using some water as needed.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the wontons in batches, ensuring they don't touch each other.
Cook the wontons for about 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
Carefully add about 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover immediately. Let the steam cook the wontons for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until they are translucent and cooked through.
Remove the wontons from the skillet and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
