Starters Recipes - Fried Wontons Recipe

Ingredients

  • 30 wonton wrappers

  • 1 egg (beaten)

  • vegetable oil for deep-frying

For the filling:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 tablespoon grated root ginger

  • 2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)

  • 225g/8oz firm bean curd

  • 6 spring onions (finely chopped)

  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil

For the dipping sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1/2 teaspoon chili oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon honey

  • 2 tablespoons water

Serves 6

Method:

  1. To make the filling, heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan, add the root ginger and garlic, and fry for 30 seconds. Crumble in the bean curd and stir-fry for a few minutes. Add the spring onions, sesame oil and soy sauce. Stir well and season.

  2. Make the dipping sauce by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and mixing well.

  3. Brush the edges of a wonton wrapper lightly with beaten egg. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the filling on to the centre of the wrapper, then fold the wrapper over to make a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal. Repeat with all of the wonton wrappers.

  4. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan. Carefully add the wontons, in batches, and cook for a few minutes, until golden brown.

  5. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
