Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block firm or extra-firm tofu
- 1 cup finely chopped carrots
- 1 cup finely chopped bell peppers

- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

- Assemble the wontons: Place about a tablespoon of filling in each wonton wrapper, wet the edges, fold, and crimp to seal.

- Serve hot with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Notes
For variations, try different vegetables or proteins such as ground turkey or tempeh. These wontons can be frozen for later use.
