- 2 cups cabbage or cole slaw mix shredded
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 10-15 wonton wrappers
- 1 teaspoon water or oil for sealing
- 2-3 cups vegetable oil for frying
Preheat a deep fryer or heat a few inches of vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer until shimmering.
In a small skillet, pour the cabbage in with a tablespoon of oil and sauté until wilted. Add the soy sauce and stir until the moisture is mostly evaporated. Remove from the pan and let it cool for 20 minutes.
Use a 1/2 tablespoon to measure out the filling for each wonton wrapper. Place a mound of filling in the center of each wrapper, then seal the edges together with a touch of water. Pinch the edges closed.
Deep fry the wontons for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
Serve the cabbage wontons right away alongside some stir fry and enjoy!
