Ingredients
Tuna and Cheese Dumplings Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 Cup onion chopped
- 1 tablespoon Garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced
- 1/2 Cup carrot grated
- 1/4 Cup celery chopped
- 2 180-gram cans Canned Tuna Flakes In Oil drained
- 1 Cup cheddar cheese grated
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 Small Egg beaten
- vegetable oil for deep-frying
- 1/2 Cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 Cup catsup
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce or to taste
Instructions
- Heat oil in a medium frying pan. Sauté vegetables until tender. Set aside; let cool.
- Combine cooled vegetables, tuna, and cheese in a bowl.
- Place a small amount of the mixture on the center of a wonton wrapper. Fold wrapper to form a triangle and brush the sides with beaten egg to seal. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Make the spicy mayo: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Set aside until ready to serve.
- Heat oil in a deep pan. Deep-fry dumplings in batches until cheese is melted and the dumplings are crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Arrange dumplings on a platter and serve with spicy mayo.
TIP: Instead of wonton wrappers, you can also use lumpia wrapper. Alternatively, you can use filo pastry and bake the parcels instead of frying them.
