  • 1 grated carrot
  • ½ brown onion diced
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil

  • 2 packs of wonton skins – 250g
  • Cooking oil.

 

Method

  1. Pour all ingredients (except wonton wrap and cooking oil) into a large bowl and fully mix together, then rest for 30minutes in fridge
  2. Use a teaspoon to scoop the mixture and place it in the middle of the wontons
  3. Fold the wontons to any shape you like
  4. Wet fingers in water to coat the edges of wonton to seal it before cooking
