SPICY TOFU WONTONS

Steps:

• Drain the tofu.
• Blend the mushrooms, chestnuts, garlic, and tofu in a food processor until roughly blended, there should still be a few chunks.
• Place the blended ingredients in a bowl and add the soy sauce, chili sauce, salt, and mustard, and mix.
• Wet the corners of the wonton wrappers with a little bit of water as you need them.
• Spoon a little more than a teaspoon of tofu filling into the middle of the wrapper.
• Fold the corners of the wrappers and seal with a fork.
• Place them on a greased pan and place in the oven for 10 minutes at 375°F (You can also steam them, for a softer texture, or even deep fry them for a quick cook.).
• Enjoy them with sweet Thai chili sauce or with more Chinese mustard.

SPICY TOFU WONTONS RECIPE

Steps:

• Notes: I used half a block of a 1 lb firm tofu. Make sure you dry out the tofu and drain on paper towels before crumbling up and using.
• In a bowl, crumble the tofu and mix with the cornstarch, green onions, and ginger. Taste and season with salt and white pepper. You want the mix to be slightly saltier than you think.
• Take a wonton wrapper and place 2 teaspoons of the tofu filling in the middle. Dip your finger into water and lightly wet the edges of the wrapper. Bring one corner of the wrapper to the other corner to form a triangle. Fold in the other two corners, wet, and pinch to seal, trying to get any air bubbles out. Alternatively, just wet the edges of the wrapper and bring together and pinch into a small pouch. Keep the wrappers and finished wonton covered with saran wrap as you work, to keep them from drying out.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil over medium high heat.
• While the water is coming to a boil, mix together the spicy chili oil ingredients.
• When the water is at a rapid boil, add in your wonton. Stir gently so they don't stick to the bottom of the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the wonton float.
• Drain well and toss in the spicy chili oil. Enjoy with extra cilantro, green onions, and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
