Yields approx. 25 won tons

Although won tons and spring rolls often have similar fillings, their wrappers set them apart. Spring rolls use rice flour wrappers; won ton wrappers are made with wheat flour.

Fried Tofu with Dipping Sauces

1 package of tofu, cut into bite-sized cubes

Vegetable oil for frying

Dipping sauces of your choice

  1. Add about 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil to a deep fryer or wok. Heat the oil on medium until it reaches about 350 degrees. Carefully add some of the tofu pieces, making sure not to overcrowd them; fry until golden brown, turning constantly. Transfer the fried tofu to paper towels to drain as each batch is cooked.
  2. Serve the tofu with a choice of dipping sauces, such as Sweet-and- Sour, Peanut, and Minty Dipping Sauce (see recipes in Chapter 2).
