WONTONS

Ingredients :
2 tbsp peanut oil
1 ½ tbsp grated fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, pressed
2 tofu cakes, crumbled
½ cup scallions, finely chopped
2 tsp dark sesame oil
2 tbsp Tamari soy sauce
50 wonton wrappers
bowl of lukewarm water
cornstarch for dusting

Method :

Heat peanut oil in a wok. Sizzle the ginger and garlic briefly then add tofu and stir-fry for a few minutes. Add scallions, sesame oil, tamari soy sauce and stir well. Set aside and cool. Set up work area with wonton wrappers, water and cornstarch. Place a wrapper in front of you in a diamond position. Drop a heaping teaspoonful of filling in the center of the wrapper. Moisten all 4 edges with water and pull the top corner down to the bottom, folding the wrapper over the filling to make a triangle. Press edges firmly to make a seal. Bring left and right corners together above the filling. Overlap the tips of these corners, moisten with water and press together. Place completed wrapper on the corn-starch platter and continue till all wrappers are used. Heat 2 to 3 cups of oil in a wok. Deep fry wontons 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain. Serve with dipping sauce.
