Fried Wonton/Dumpling/Pot Sticker (Vegetarian)

Fried wontons, dumplings or pot stickers are a popular Chinese appetizer that can be made with a variety of fillings. However, this particular dish has no meat, making it a great option for vegetarians. These crispy and savory bites are typically made with a mixture of flour, water, and salt, formed into small wrappers that are then filled with a mixture of veggies, tofu or mushrooms. The filling is usually seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger for added flavor. Once the wontons, dumplings or pot stickers are assembled, they are then fried until golden brown and crispy. This dish is often served with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil for a bit of tang and heat. In terms of nutrition, although fried dishes are generally not the healthiest option, this vegetarian version of wonton, dumpling or pot sticker can provide a good source of carbohydrates, protein and essential vitamins and minerals, depending on the filling used.
