Quick Vegetarian Wontons Recipes

VEGETARIAN WONTONS

Steps:

• Drain the tofu, press firmly in between 2 pieces of paper towel to remove any excess liquid. Using a fork, mash the tofu until it resembles breadcrumbs. Set aside.
• Place carrot, white of the spring onion, garlic and ginger into a food processor and pulse several times to chop finely, ensuring not to make a paste. Scrape out and set aside.
• Place the cabbage pieces into the same food processor bowl and pulse several times. Remove and set aside.
• Place the mushrooms into the food processor bowl and pulse several times, remove and set aside.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the carrot mixture and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes. Add the cabbage and mushroom and cook for a further 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl add the crumbled tofu, cooked vegetable mixture, and the remaining filling ingredients. Stir until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
• Bring a pot of water to the boil while making the wontons.
• Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface, spoon a tsp of the filling mixture into the center of the wrapper.
• Using your finger, spread a thin layer of water around the edges of the wrapper. Fold one corner over the mixture to form a triangle, press along the edges to make sure it seals well.
• Take one corner and wrap it over the other corner, using a little water to seal it.
• Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
• Arrange the wontons in a steamer basket lined with baking paper and steam for 15 minutes. Depending on the size of the steamer basket you may need to repeat this step.
• While wontons are cooking, mix together all sauce ingredients and set aside.
