Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

FOR THE FILLING

1 tablespoon peanut (groundnut) oil

1/3 cup finely grated carrots

1/2 cup finely grated cabbage

1/4 cup bean sprouts

2 large garlic cloves -- finely chopped

1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

3 tablespoons mashed tofu

or lowfat vegetarian soft cheese

1 pinch unrefined sugar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

salt and pepper

FOR THE WRAPPERS

20 wonton skins

OR

2/3 pound filo pastry

vegetable oil -- for deep-frying

Sweet and Sour Chili Dipping Sauce -- see recipe

OR

Garlic Dipping Sauce -- see recipe

 

Heat a wok or large frying pan and add the oil. When it is hot, stir-fry the

carrots, cabbage, beansprouts and garlic for 1 minute. Set the vegetables aside

and allow them to cool.

After they have cooled, combine the vegetables with the rest of the filling

ingredients. Put a generous teaspoonful of the filling in the center of each

wonton skin. (If you are using filo pastry, cut a double thickness into 10cms

(4-in) squares, and brush lightly with water before filling them.) Pull up two

opposite corners, dampen the edges with a little water and pinch them together.

Bring up the two other corners, pinch them together with the first two, and seal

with a little water, so that they look like small bundles.

Pour 2 to 3 inches of oil into a medium saucepan and place on a medium to high

heat. The oil is ready when a cube of bread browns immediately. Deep-fry the

wontons in batches until they are golden and crisp. Drain them on kitchen paper.

Serve at once, with a dipping sauce.

NOTES : Wontons are made using very thin wrappings or skins, which are made from

wheat flour paste. They are sold ready-made in Asian shops and can be stored in

the refrigerator for up to five days or frozen successfully. (If you do freeze

them, make sure that they are thoroughly defrosted before use.) Filo pastry

makes a good alternative.
