Steam the Wontons
Prepare Dipping Sauce and Serve
For added protein and texture, mix in finely chopped mushrooms, crumbled firm tofu, or grated paneer into the vegetable filling.
For a crispy bottom, pan-fry the steamed wontons for 2-3 minutes in a little oil until golden brown. This is known as the potsticker method.
Enhance the dipping sauce by adding 1/2 teaspoon of finely minced garlic, some toasted sesame seeds, or finely chopped cilantro.
Steaming is a healthy, low-fat cooking method that preserves the natural flavor and nutrients in the vegetables without adding extra calories from oil.
Loaded with vegetables like cabbage and carrots, these wontons are a good source of dietary fiber, which is essential for healthy digestion and can help you feel full and satisfied.
The colorful variety of vegetables provides essential vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin C from capsicum and Vitamin K from cabbage, which support immune function and overall health.
One serving of 6 vegetable steamed wontons contains approximately 210-230 calories. This is an estimate and can vary based on the specific brand of wonton wrappers and sauces used.
Yes, they are a relatively healthy choice. Being steamed rather than fried keeps the fat content low. They are packed with vegetables, providing fiber and vitamins. To make them even healthier, use low-sodium soy sauce and whole wheat wonton wrappers if available.
Absolutely. You can assemble the wontons and freeze them for later. Place the uncooked wontons on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. You can steam them directly from frozen, just add 3-4 extra minutes to the steaming time.
This usually happens for a few reasons: the filling might be too wet or not cooled enough, you might be overfilling them, or the wrappers have dried out. Ensure your filling is cool and not watery, use only about a teaspoon of filling, and always keep the wrappers you're not using covered with a damp cloth.
You can easily customize the filling. Finely chopped mushrooms, sweet corn, water chestnuts, bok choy, or even edamame are excellent additions. Just make sure all vegetables are chopped very finely for the best texture.
