These Vegan Sweet Potato Wontons are a delightful twist on a classic appetizer, featuring a savory sweet potato filling wrapped in delicate, crispy dough. Perfectly seasoned and easy to make, they are a crowd-pleasing dish for any occasion.

Ingredients

• Sweet potato - 200 grams
• Wonton wrappers - 12 pieces
• Green onion - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Ground ginger - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon (for sealing)
• Oil - for frying

Steps

1. Peel and chop the sweet potato into small cubes. Boil in salted water for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, chopped green onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the sweet potato filling in the center of the wrapper.
4. Dissolve the cornstarch in a little water to create a paste. Use your finger to apply the paste around the edges of the wrapper.
5. Fold the wrapper over to create a triangle or a purse shape, pressing to seal tightly. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
6. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the wontons for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with soy sauce or a dipping sauce of your choice.
