Directions
-
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then crumble it into small pieces using a fork.
-
In a small bowl, blend 1 tablespoon curry powder with 2 tablespoons water to create a smooth paste.
-
In another small bowl, blend 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water to create a slurry.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon corn or canola oil in a nonstick wok or skillet over medium heat.
-
Add 1 teaspoon minced ginger root and sauté until fragrant and lightly browned.
-
Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and the blended curry paste; stir and cook for 2 minutes until softened.
-
Add the crumbled tofu, 1/4 pound minced fresh mushrooms, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon sherry, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, and 1 teaspoon low sodium instant bouillon (chicken or vegetable); bring the mixture to a boil.
-
Stir in 1 tablespoon sesame oil and the cornstarch slurry; mix well and cook until the filling thickens.
-
Remove the filling from heat and allow it to cool completely.
-
Place approximately 2 teaspoons of the cooled curried tofu filling in the center of a wonton skin.
-
Fold the wonton skin diagonally to form a triangle shape.
-
Seal the edges firmly with a little water to prevent leaking during frying.
