Ingredients

• 40 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 2 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Green cabbage, finely shredded
• 0.5 cup Carrot, grated
• 0.5 cup Shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Firm tofu, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons Spring onions, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch (for sealing)
• 2 tablespoons Water (for sealing)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the cabbage, carrot, shiitake mushrooms, crumbled tofu, spring onions, garlic, and ginger.

Step 2

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the vegetable mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.

Step 3

Prepare a small bowl of cornstarch mixed with water to use as a sealing agent for the wrappers.

Step 4

Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about a teaspoon of the vegetable filling in the center of the wrapper.

Step 5

Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with the cornstarch mixture using a fingertip or a small brush.

Step 6

Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal tightly. Ensure there are no air bubbles trapped inside.

Step 7

Repeat the filling and folding process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 8

In a large, deep skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Carefully add the prepared wontons in small batches to the hot oil, frying them for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the crispy fried wontons warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
