Ingredients

• 30 pieces Wonton wrappers (vegan)
• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 1 medium Carrot, finely grated
• 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 100 grams Mushrooms, finely chopped
• 100 grams Cabbage, finely shredded
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Press it gently to remove excess moisture, then crumble the tofu into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the grated carrot, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped mushrooms, and shredded cabbage to the bowl with the tofu. Mix well.

Step 3

Season the mixture with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 4

Take a wonton wrapper and place it on a clean, dry surface. Spoon about a teaspoon of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.

Step 5

Dip your finger into a bowl of water and moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper into a triangle by bringing the opposite corners together and pressing to seal the edges. Make sure there are no air pockets.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil's readiness by gently placing a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.

Step 7

Carefully add the wontons in batches to the hot oil. Fry them for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried wontons from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 9

Serve the vegan crispy fried wontons warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
