Ingredients

  • 20-25 pieces vegan wonton wrappers (1/2 pack)
  • 220 g vegan pork mince
  • 3 tbsp spring onions
  • 1 tsp ginger paste
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp shaoxing wine
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • dash white pepper

Dip

  • 3 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp chili oil

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix the ground vegan pork, green onions, soy sauce, shaoxing wine, sesame oil, ginger, and white pepper until well combined.
  • Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Line the sides of the wonton wrapper with water.
  • Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
  • Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pinching the ends. Create folds on either sides of the wrapper to create a 'fish tail'. Make sure there are no air pockets.
  • In a deep pan or pot, heat oil over medium-high heat (about 350°F/175°C).
  • Fry the wontons in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Flip them to check for the colour if required. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and chiliA oil. You can adjust the chili oil to your preferred spice level.
  • Arrange the crispy wontons on a platter and serve with the chili oil mayo on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
