Fry the Wontons
Serve
For a lower-fat option, brush the wontons with a little oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crisp, or cook them in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup of crumbled paneer (Indian cottage cheese), firm tofu, or finely chopped mushrooms to the vegetable filling for extra protein and flavor.
Incorporate 1/4 cup of finely chopped water chestnuts or sweet corn into the filling for an added crunchy texture.
The filling is packed with vegetables like cabbage, carrots, and capsicum, which provide essential vitamins such as Vitamin C and Vitamin A, as well as important minerals.
The vegetables in the wontons contribute dietary fiber, which is beneficial for digestive health and can help in maintaining a healthy gut.
A serving of 6 Veg Fried Wontons contains approximately 250-300 calories, depending on the amount of oil absorbed during frying and the specific ingredients used.
While they contain a nutritious vegetable filling, Veg Fried Wontons are deep-fried, which adds significant fat and calories. They are best enjoyed in moderation as an occasional treat. For a healthier alternative, try baking or air-frying them.
Yes, you can assemble the wontons ahead of time. Arrange them in a single layer on a floured tray, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 4-5 hours before frying.
Absolutely. To freeze, place the assembled, uncooked wontons on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored for up to 2 months. Fry them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
Popular choices include sweet chili sauce, Schezwan sauce, hot garlic sauce, or a simple dip made with soy sauce, a splash of rice vinegar, and some chopped spring onions.
Wrappers can tear if they are too dry or if the filling is too wet or warm. Make sure to keep the wrappers covered with a damp cloth while you work, and ensure your vegetable filling is completely cool and not overly moist before stuffing.
