Ingredients
To make Vegetable and Tofu Wontons , you'll need:
FOR THE FILLING:
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • Pinch of pepper
  • 100g mashed firm tofu
  • Small white onion, sliced finely
  • 3 water chestnuts, chopped finely
  • 2 tsp. carrots grated
  • 1 Pak Choi leaf, finely sliced
  • 2 tsp. grated ginger
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 16 wonton wrappers, or as needed
  • 3.5 cups of vegetable oil for deep-frying, as needed
FOR THE EGG WASH:
  • 1 egg 
  • 1 tsp. of water

Method

  • Lightly beat the egg, then season with salt and pepper. 
  • Combine the mashed tofu and vegetables (white onion, water chestnuts, carrots, Pak Choi, and ginger) into the egg mixture.
  • Pour the sesame oil into a frying pan and place over a gentle heat.
  • To fill the wontons, lay a wrapper in front of you so that it forms a diamond shape. 
  • Using your finger, place some egg wash or water on all sides. 
  • Place a teaspoon of filling in the middle.
  • Fold the wonton in half from corner to opposite corner so it forms a triangle. 
  • Then scrunch the longer two triangle points together to make the wonton shape.
  • Deep-fry the wontons for around 2 minutes, ensuring that they’re golden and crispy.
  • They are now ready to serve!
