30 Minutes Wonton in 2 ways 16.04

For an event I simplified my old wonton recipe.

Frozen wrappers (bought at a GoAsia store)

Watch out the yellow package's wrappers are not vegan .

Ingredients for about 32 wonton dumplings

(8 wanton dumplings are enough for 1 main dish serving)

I usually make this filling and only use half of them to make 16 dumplings

The rest of the filling can be up cycled to other dishes such as fried rice.

Or you can make all 32 pieces (up to step 3 ) and freeze them.

Step 1 How to make chili oil

Heat up 20g roasted sesame oil in a pot ( this pot can be reused in the next step )

Prepare all the chili oil seasoning in a bowl.

Pour in the heated sesame oil .(or any oil of your choice)

Let it sizzle for a while.

Step 2

Add all the ingredients for filling in a big bowl.

Mash tofu with a wooden spoon.

(You don't have to cook any ingredients here)

Step 3

Scoop about 1tbsp filling for a wrapper.

And place the filling in the center of a square wrapper.

First seal the wrapper into a rectangle and then make it round.

Step 4

Boil 1000g water in a pot.

Add 1tsp salt and 1tsp mushroom sauce ( or make any vegan broth of your choice)

Step 4

Boil wonton dumplings in this broth for 4 minutes ( max 16 pieces at a time)

Carefully scoop boiled dumplings with strainer ladle.

Save the boiling water(broth) for the next step.

Step 5

How to serve wonton

Serve wonton dumplings in a bowl with a drizzle (3g) of soy sauce and

1tsp of chili oil and about 1/3-1/2 cup of broth from the previous step.

Sprinkle some sesame seeds and green onion for garnish.

How to store boiled dumplings (TO GO)

Place boiled wonton dumplings in a container.

Drizzle some soy sauce and chili oil over the dumplings.

Keep broth in a separate container such as a thermos bottle.

Serve dumplings with warm broth when you eat them :)

If you want to fry wonton , you can fry them after the step 3 without boiling.

I use about 20g peanut oil to fry 12 pieces.

You can use any heat stable oil for frying but I usually use peanut oil.

Just fry wonton for about 2 minutes each side until golden.

Serve fried wonton with some condiments of your choice.

Sweet chili sauce

Coriander sauce
