Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Plant-based shrimp
- 24 sheets Wonton wrappers
- 3 s Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 Carrot, finely grated
- 1 cup Cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Water
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the plant-based shrimp, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, carrot, cabbage, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean work surface and place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Use your finger to brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with the cornstarch slurry.
Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle and press the edges to seal. Make sure there are no air pockets and the filling is tightly enclosed.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring it is about 1 to 2 inches deep for frying.
Fry the wontons in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the wontons and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the wontons warm with your choice of dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or a sweet chili sauce.
