Ingredients
For The Tofu Wontons:
- 1 package wonton wrappers there should be 30 in the package
- ½ head cabbage
- 2 medium carrots
- 4 green onions
- 1 block extra firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon Seasoned Vegetable Base
For The Sweet And Spicy Sauce:

- ½ cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 3 tablespoon sriracha
- ½ tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions sliced
- red pepper flakes to taste
Instructions
For The Tofu Wontons:
- Begin by getting your ingredients prepped and ready. Chop the carrots into tiny cubes, and thinly slice the cabbage and the green onions.
- Add the chopped carrots, green onions, and cabbage to a wok or large skillet on medium-high heat with the toasted sesame oil and Better Than Bouillon.
- Crumble tofu on top and sauté until carrots and cabbage are soft and the crumbled tofu has absorbed the seasonings.
- Lay out a wonton wrap on a flat surface and place a small scoop of the wonton filling in the middle. I like to measure out about a tablespoon's worth.
- Wet one of the edges of the wrapper with a drop of water. Fold in half and press to seal. Wet the two corners and connect them in a ring shape.
- At this point you can either add the tofu wontons to the air-fryer for 12 minutes at 390 or until golden brown, or you can steam them for 15-20 minutes on medium heat. I use a wooden steamer over boiling water in my wok and it works great.
For The Sweet And Spicy Sauce:
- Combine all ingredients together in a small bowl and mix until smooth.
