Time 40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 onion, coarsely chopped
½ cup chopped carrots
1 head garlic, cloves separated and peeled
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 pinch Chinese five-spice powder
salt to taste
2 dashes soy sauce
8 ounces tofu-based sour cream
2 (12 ounce) packages wonton wrappers
2 cups sesame oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine squash, onion, carrots, and garlic in a high-powered blender; pulse until vegetables are minced.
  • Transfer vegetables to a skillet and add coconut oil, Chinese five-spice powder, salt, and soy sauce. Saute vegetable mixture over high heat until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Spoon tofu-based sour cream into vegetable mixture and mash until filling is smooth. Remove skillet from heat and cool filling.
  • Spoon about 1 teaspoon filling onto 1 half of each wonton wrapper. Wet the border of the wrapper and fold in half over the filling, sealing the edges together. Take 2 opposite corners, wet with water, and press together to seal.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Working in batches, fry wontons until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer cooked wontons to a paper towel-lined plate; cool slightly.

These wontons were a bit bland. I think I would have preferred a more flavorful filling.
