Tofu-Cheese Wontons


Source: Giant Book of Tofu Cooking (modified by Aimee)
Makes 60 appetizers

7 oz. tofu, mashed
8 oz. softened cream cheese
1 egg, beaten
½ cup carrots, finely chopped
½ cup spinach, finely chopped
¼ cup onion, finely chopped
½ tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 TB cornstarch
46 wonton wrappers (14 oz. package)

Sweet & Sour Sauce:
1 TB corn starch
¼ tsp garlic powder
½ cup pineapple juice
3 TB honey
3 TB apple cider vinegar
1 TB soy sauce

1. Preheat oven to 375. In bowl, combine all ingredients (except wrappers). Mix well.  Refrigerate at least 1/2 hour or overnight.
2. Place 1 TB of tofu mixture in center of each wrapper; fold the corners up & overlap so the filling doesn’t come out.
3. Place filled wontons on oiled baking sheet; bake 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, make sauce: place corn starch & garlic powder in a small saucepan; whisk in pineapple juice. Add rest of ingredients & stir until well-blended. Heat over medium heat; stir until bubbly & thickened. Serve as a dip with tofu wontons.
