Spinach Wontons Recipes

SPINACH WONTONS

Steps:

• Heat a frying pan and add the sesame seed oil.
• Once hot, add the sliced scallions.
• Crumble the block of tofu over the frying mixture.
• Pour soysauce over it and mix.
• Let that simmer for 5 minutes while you slice the spinach.
• Remove from heat and stir in the spinach.
• Let this cool before continuing to the next step.
• You want the filling to be cool before assembling the wontons.
• Fry in 1/2 inch of vegetable oil.
• 2 minutes on one side, one minute on the other OR until crispy and golden brown.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE WONTONS

Steps:

• Fill a large pot halfway up with vegetable oil and heat to 365 degrees F. Set a large skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Once hot add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the artichoke hearts and spinach and cook until the spinach has wilted, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, mozzarella, parmesan and warm vegetables. Stir together until the cheeses have melted and the mixture is somewhat smooth. Season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
• To shape the wontons, work with one wrapper at a time. Add about a teaspoon or two of the filling in the center. Brush the edges with egg wash and then seal into a triangle shape. Continue shaping until all the filling has been used.
• Once the oil is hot, carefully add a few of the wontons at a time and fry until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and continue frying the rest.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE WONTONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F and place rack in upper third of oven.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, add onion and shallots, sauteing for about 4 minutes or until softened.
• Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds, then remove mixture from heat to a bowl, set aside.
• In a food processor, process cream cheese, mayonnaise, artichoke hearts and cayenne until smooth.
• Put cream cheese mixture in a medium bowl, and add onion mix, spinach, and asiago, mixing well to combine.
• Taste and add salt if needed. Mine didn't need any with the brined artichokes and the cheese.
• Lay out 24 wonton wrappers on counter and place about 1 heaping teaspoon of mixture on each wonton.
• Wet edges of wontons with water, fold in half to make triangles, pressing edges together so they stick.
• Place on a baking sheet lightly sprayed with cooking spray and bake for 10 minutes, until bottoms and edges are beginning to brown, turn over and continue to bake for about 4 more minutes or until both sides are crisped and slightly browned.
• Serve right out of the oven.
