Recipe Introduction


(Do not make too far ahead of time. The wonton skinswill soften if allowed to sit for a long time. If possible, make and serve them immediately).
Makes 30 - 35 wontons


List of Ingredients




1 package wonton skins (about 30 - 35)
Hoisin sauce, for dipping
Filling:
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1/4 cup carrots, finely shredded
1/2 cup cabbage, finely shredded
1/4 cup bean sprouts
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
3 tablespoons mashed bean curd
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 - 3 tablespoons oil for stir-frying
2 cups peanut oil for deep-frying

Recipe



1. For the filling, heat a wok or large frying pan and add the oil. When moderately hot, add the carrots, cabbage, bean sprouts, and garlic and stir-fry for 1 minute. Set aside to cool thoroughly.
2. Combine the cooled vegetables with the rest of the filling ingredients and mix well. Using a teaspoon, put a small amount of filling in the center of each wonton skin.
Bring up 2 opposite corners, dampen the edges with a little water, and inch them together to make a triangle. Fold over the bottom 2 corners so they overlap, and press together. The filling should be well sealed in.
3. Heat the oil in a deep fat fryer or large wok until hot. Deep-fry the filled wontons in several batches. Drain on paper towel. Serve at once with hoisin sauce.
