Fried Vegetarian (meat-less) Wontons


Fried wantons are always our favorite snacks especially when its still hot and crunchy....who can resists it?

Normally, they are stuffed with meat inside, it could be in minced chicken or pork meat.  For those who are vegetarian will miss this wonderful snacks if we don't come out something to suits them.

My vegetarian recipe for these wantons fillings are consists of mashed potatoes, tofu, mushrooms, carrots and celery.  I know some of you would not like the taste celery in this, you may substitute with water chestnuts if you wish to have some crunchy feelings or you may use some scallions if you don't.  I even pan-fried the mushrooms before I mixed with other ingredients because I love those mushrooms aromatic smell.

This recipe is perfect for home party, tea-break or even as snacks as it's so easy to prepare.

Hope this easy to make recipe will able to satisfied all of you.  Trust me, it's really simple and you will love it so much!

My Apple Lean Pork Soup not only using apple and lean pork but there are others important ingredients that's made this soup so perfect.  Among them are dried scallop, snow fungus, lily bulbs, red lotus seeds and dried tangerine peel.  Let me share what are these ingredients good in.  Apples are well-known in promoting your digestion, snow fungus is good in nourishes yin and moistens the dryness in your body system.  Whereby, dried scallop is good for your liver and kidneys.  Overall this soup is suitable for those who often lack of rest, suffers from cold and chronic cough.  Try it out and you won't regret, that what I can promise you!
