Ingredients
Wonton Filling
- 1 cup green cabbage I use Josie's Organics
- ½ onion diced
- 2 carrots large, diced
- ½ package extra firm tofu
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 20 wonton wrappers 1 to 2 packages
Wonton Dipping Sauce
- 4 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon chili garlic sauce optional for spice or sub red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Chop the veggies as small as possible or pulse them in a food processor.
- In a pan, saute carrots, onion, cabbage until soft. Crumble in tofu. Add in the soy sauce or coconut aminos, garlic, ginger and toasted sesame oil (optional). Saute for 10 minutes until completely cooked. Remove from heat.
- Add about 1-1.5 teaspoons of the mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the wonton wrapper forming a triangle. Seal the edges with water and press down. Take the two ends of the "triangle" and press the edges together. The wonton package should have instructions with images on the back. I made 20 wontons but feel free to make as many as you want.
- Preheat the air-fryer to 350 F. Use a non-stick air-fryer or spray with a little cooking spray. Add wontons into the air fryer gently. Don't stack them on top of one-another. Cook for 5 minutes or until golden brown. They burn quickly so watch them!
- Combine all ingredients for the dipping sauce in a bowl and mix.
- Serve wontons fresh, dip in the sauce, and enjoy!
Notes
Seal the wontons with water!
If you’re using an air-fryer – these wontons only take 5 minutes. Watch them carefully so they don’t burn! I wouldn’t set the air-fryer higher than 350 degrees F.
The wontons taste best made and served fresh.
See recipe card for pan-frying instructions if you don’t have an air-fryer.
