Ingredients

• 200 grams firm tofu
• 1 medium carrot
• 2 stalks green onions
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 500 ml vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the filling. Drain the tofu and crumble it into a large bowl.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrot, then add it to the bowl with the tofu.

Step 3

Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the bowl.

Step 4

Season the mixture with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well until combined.

Step 5

Lay a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center.

Step 6

Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.

Step 7

Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle or a square, pressing the edges to seal tightly.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 9

In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

Gently add a few wontons at a time into the hot oil. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 12

Serve the fried wontons hot with sweet chili sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
