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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean work surface and place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.

Step 4

Use your finger to brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with the cornstarch slurry.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring it is about 1 to 2 inches deep for frying.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the wontons and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the wontons warm with your choice of dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or a sweet chili sauce.
