Description

These Tofu Triangles are a delightful twist on classic appetizers, offering a crispy exterior and a rich, savory interior. The filling combines firm tofu, earthy mushrooms, and aromatic ginger with a hint of curry powder and sesame oil for a complex flavor profile. Encased in delicate wonton skins and deep-fried to perfection, they provide a satisfying crunch in every bite. Ideal for parties, potlucks, or as an elegant starter before a main course, these triangles are easy to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Drain and dry the firm tofu, then crumble it into small pieces using a fork.
  2. In a small bowl, blend the curry powder with 1 teaspoon of sherry and 2 tablespoons of water.
  3. In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry.
  4. Heat the corn or canola oil in a nonstick wok or large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the minced ginger root to the hot oil and sauté until fragrant and lightly browned.
  6. Add the chopped onion and the curry powder mixture; stir and cook for 2 minutes until onions soften.
  7. Add the crumbled tofu, minced mushrooms, soy sauce, pepper, sherry, paprika, and bouillon to the wok.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently.
  9. Stir in the sesame oil and the cornstarch slurry; mix well until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
  10. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
  11. Place a wonton skin on a clean work surface. Place about 2 teaspoons of the cooled tofu mixture in the center.
  12. Fold the wonton skin diagonally to form a triangle, pressing gently to remove air pockets.
  13. Seal the edges by dabbing them with water and pressing firmly to ensure they are closed.
  14. Repeat with remaining wonton skins and filling.
  15. Heat oil for deep-frying in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  16. Carefully place the tofu triangles in the hot oil in batches, ensuring they do not crowd the pot.
  17. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, turning once halfway through.
  18. Remove triangles with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  19. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
