Ingredients
- 4 Ounces Soy curls, I used Butler's(soaked/drained according to pkg. directions.
- 1 1/2 Cups Broccoli florets
- 2 Tablespoons Neutral flavored oil
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 4 Cloves Garlic, grated
- 1/4 Cup Vegetable broth
- 3 Tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 Tablespoon Rice wine vinegar
- 30-40 Vegan wonton wrappers, I used Nasoya
Instructions
- After you have soaked and drained the soy curls, squeeze as much liquid out of them as you can.
- Now, put them on a cutting board and very finely chop the soy curls. Put them in a bowl.
- Put the broccoli florets on the cutting board and very finely chop the broccoli as well and add it to the bowl with the soy curls.
- Now heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet on medium high.
- Add the ginger and garlic to the skillet. Sauté, reducing heat as needed for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the soy curls and broccoli into the skillet and sauté until the soy curls are golden brown. About 10-15 minutes.
- While the soy curls and broccoli cook, make the sauce. In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and rice wine vinegar.
- Once the soy curls have browned, pour the sauce into the skillet. Stir and continue to sauté for a few minutes or until the sauce has thicken up. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Let the "beef" and broccoli cool completely.
- Now, assemble the wontons. Lay one wonton wrapper so it looks like a diamond. Put about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wonton wrapper.
- Wet the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water, using your finger.
- Fold one point up to meet the other point so you have a triangle. Press the edges to seal.
- Now wet the two bottom points of the triangle and fold them to meet. Press to seal. (See video for details of folding).
- Repeat with all the wonton wrappers and filling. This will make 30-40 wontons.
- If you want to serve them by themselves with sauce, simmer a small pot of water and add a few wontons at a time. Simmer for 1-2 minutes or until they float. Then serve in a bowl of sauce, or just dip in the sauce.
- If you want to make wonton soup, once your broth is ready, add them to the broth and simmer for 1-2 minutes, then serve.
- To freeze the wontons, lay them flat on parchment paper, then once they are frozen, you can add them all to one bag. Then when ready to eat, simmer in water or broth for 4-5 minutes since they are frozen.
