Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/3 cup chopped water chestnuts

4 ounces firm tofu

8 ounces stemmed and roughly chopped button mushrooms

3/4 cup chopped scallions

1 tablespoon black bean garlic sauce

8 ounces thin wonton wrappers

1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil

Hoisin sauce (optional)

 

1. In a food processor, mince together the water chestnuts, tofu, mushrooms, and

scallions. The mixture should be slightly chunky. Transfer the mixture to a

medium bowl and fold in the black bean sauce.

 

2. Assemble the wontons: Keep a small cup of water handy as you are filling the

wontons. With your finger, moisten the edges of a wonton wrapper with a little

water. Place 2 teaspoons of filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the

wonton to form a triangle. Then bring the two opposite corners of the triangle

together to form a wonton. Place on a plate or parchment-lined baking sheet.

Continue until you have used all of the wrappers and filling.

 

3. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium heat.

Add 8 to 10 wontons at a time, taking care that they do not touch each other.

Fry until the wontons are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side, reducing

the heat if the pan begins to smoke. Repeat until all wontons are fried. Serve

immediately. Serve with hoisin sauce if desired (hoisin sauce is a traditional

accompaniment).
