“Fried Wontons: Parent’s Delight – Heat Up Your Stay-At-Home Meals With This Savory and Spicy Recipe”
Fried Wontons with Hot and Sour Sauce – A Delicious Recipe for Stay at Home Parents
If you are a stay at home parent, you know how hard it can be to find quick and easy recipes that the whole family will enjoy. Fried wontons with hot and sour sauce is a great recipe to whip up. Not only is it super fast to make, but it’s also incredibly tasty!
The first step in making this delicious dish is to gather all of the ingredients you need. You’ll need wonton wrappers, ground pork, garlic, ginger, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, cornstarch, egg whites, vegetable oil and rice vinegar. For the hot and sour sauce, you’ll need chili oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce and sugar.
Once you have all of your ingredients together it’s time to start cooking! Start by adding the ground pork to a large bowl and mix in the garlic, ginger, scallions, soy sauce and sesame oil. Once everything is well blended add in the white pepper and cornstarch. Next add in the egg whites and mix until everything is combined.
Now it’s time to fill the wonton wrappers. Take one wrapper at a time and place about one teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Wet your finger with water and run it along two sides of the wrapper to make sure they stick together when sealed. Then crimp them to seal.
Once all of your wontons are filled and sealed heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with vegetable oil. Once hot carefully place the wontons in the skillet in batches making sure not to overcrowd them or they won’t cook evenly. Fry until golden brown on both sides then remove from heat and drain on paper towels.
The last step is to make your hot and sour sauce. In a small bowl mix together chili oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce and sugar until combined then set aside until ready to serve.
Now that your fried wontons are done it’s time to enjoy them! Serve with hot and sour sauce on the side for dipping. This recipe makes enough for 4-6 people so there should be plenty for everyone!
I remember when my kids were younger making fried wontons with hot and sour sauce was one of their favorite dishes! It was always so fast and easy for me to make so I could spend more time playing with them instead of spending hours in the kitchen cooking dinner every night. It was always a hit with everyone in our family which made me happy as a stay at home parent!
“Master the Art of Dumpling Making with this Delicious Vegetable & Tofu Recipe!”
Vegetable and Tofu Dumplings with Soy Dipping Sauce
As a stay-at-home parent, I love getting creative in the kitchen. When I’m looking for a healthy meal that my family loves, one of our favorite go-to recipes is vegetable and tofu dumplings with soy dipping sauce. The dumplings are easy to make and the soy dipping sauce adds a delicious savory flavor. My children love helping me make the dumplings, and it’s always a fun activity for us to do together.
The best part about this recipe is that it’s incredibly versatile. You can use any type of vegetables you like, and you can adjust the amount of tofu depending on your preference. I usually use a combination of carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, and scallions, but you can use whatever you have on hand. The soy dipping sauce is also easy to make and adds just the right amount of flavor to the dumplings.
Ingredients:
-1 package of wonton wrappers
-1 block of firm or extra firm tofu
-2 cups finely chopped vegetables (carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, scallions)
-1 tablespoon sesame oil
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
-1 teaspoon honey
-1 teaspoon rice vinegar
-1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
-2 tablespoons waterInstructions:
1. Start by pressing the tofu to remove any excess moisture. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and place it on top of a cutting board or plate. Place something heavy (like a pot or pan) on top of the kitchen towel and let sit for 10 minutes. Once the tofu has been pressed, crumble it into small pieces with your hands and set aside.
2. Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next add crumbled tofu and vegetables to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender but still crisp. Add soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar and grated ginger to the skillet; stir to combine all ingredients together. Cook for an additional 3 minutes or until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before handling dumplings.
3. To assemble dumplings: place 1 tablespoon of vegetable and tofu filling in the center of each wonton wrapper; lightly wet fingers with water to help seal wrapper edges together around filling (see photo). Continue until all filling has been used up; set aside on parchment paper lined baking sheet as you go along (this will help prevent them from sticking).
4. To cook dumplings: Fill large pot with enough water to cover dumplings once placed in pot; bring to boil over medium high heat. Once boiling add dumplings using slotted spoon (careful not to crowd pot); reduce heat to low/medium so water doesn’t boil over; cook for 8 minutes or until wonton wrappers become translucent (white). Remove from heat; let cool slightly before serving with soy dipping sauce (recipe below).
5. To make Soy Dipping Sauce: In small bowl whisk together low sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar and grated ginger until combined; set aside until ready to use. Serve dumplings warm with soy dipping sauce on side for dipping. Enjoy!This recipe is always a hit with my family! It’s quick and easy to make but still has amazing flavor – plus it’s healthy too! The vegetable and tofu mixture adds great texture while the soy dipping sauce adds just enough savory flavor without overpowering the delicate taste of the dumplings themselves. Plus it’s fun for my children to help me assemble them – they love making different shapes with their fingers! It’s definitely become one of our favorite recipes over time!

Shrimp and Vegetable Dumplings in Spicy Sauce: A Stay-At-Home Parent’s Dream Dinner
As a stay-at-home parent, getting dinner on the table can be a challenge. You want something that’s nutritious, delicious, and quick to make. One of my favorite go-to recipes is Shrimp and Vegetable Dumplings in Spicy Sauce. This dish is packed with protein, is easy to make, and has just the right amount of kick to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.
The first step in making this dish is to combine the ingredients for the dumpling filling. This includes one pound of raw shrimp, diced carrots and zucchini, chopped scallions, minced garlic, and diced ginger. These ingredients are combined with one egg white, ¼ cup of tamari sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper. Once everything is mixed together, it should be refrigerated until you’re ready to assemble the dumplings.
Next, it’s time to assemble the dumplings. I like to use round wonton wrappers for this part. To assemble them I place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper before folding it into a triangle shape and sealing the edges with a bit of water. Once all of my dumplings are assembled, I steam them for about 12 minutes or until they’re cooked through.
Now that the dumplings are ready it’s time to make the sauce. For this I combine ¼ cup of vegetable broth with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 2 tablespoons rice vinegar in a small saucepan. I bring this mixture to a boil before adding 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Once everything is combined I reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes or until it has thickened.
Once the sauce is done it’s time to serve! I like to plate my Shrimp and Vegetable Dumplings in Spicy Sauce with some steamed rice or quinoa on the side and top them with some chopped scallions for a bit more flavor and color.
My kids love this dish because it has just enough kick without being too spicy (although you can always add more red pepper flakes if you like your food spicier).

“Cook Like a Pro – Mouthwatering Dumplings with Pork & Veggie Filling for the Stay-at-Home Parent!”
Dumplings with Pork and Vegetable Filling – A Delicious and Healthy Recipe for Stay at Home Parents
As a stay at home parent, it is important to have healthy meals that can be made quickly and easily. Dumplings with pork and vegetable filling are a delicious and nutritious meal that can be made in no time. Not only is this dish packed full of flavor, but it is also easy to make and can be adjusted to include any veggies you have on hand. Plus, you can make them ahead of time, freeze them and reheat them when you need a quick meal.
I first discovered dumplings with pork and vegetable filling when I was visiting family in Asia. My aunt had made these delicious little parcels of goodness and I was immediately hooked. I loved the combination of sweet pork mince, crunchy vegetables and the subtle flavor of soy sauce that came through in every bite.
To make dumplings with pork and vegetable filling, you will need:
• 500g minced pork
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 carrot, grated
• 1/2 cup of mushrooms, diced
• 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 packets of wonton wrappers or dumpling wrappers
• 2 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil for frying
• Salt & pepper to tasteTo start, heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot and mushrooms and cook until they are soft (about 5 minutes). Add the minced pork to the pan and cook until it is cooked through (about 10 minutes). Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger and salt & pepper to taste. Stir everything together until well combined. Take the pan off the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes before assembling the dumplings.
To assemble the dumplings, place a spoonful of the pork mixture onto each wrapper. Fold the wrapper up into a triangle shape (or whatever shape you prefer) so that it seals around the filling. Make sure to press down firmly around all four edges so that it doesn’t open up when frying. Repeat this step until all of the wrappers are filled.
Once your dumplings are assembled, heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Place as many dumplings as you can fit into the pan without overcrowding them (I usually do about 6-8 at a time) and fry for 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown on each side. Once they are cooked through, remove them from the pan using a slotted spoon or spatula – this will help keep them crisp! Serve your dumplings hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
Dumplings with pork and vegetable filling make an easy meal that can be enjoyed by stay at home parents anytime they need something quick yet delicious! Not only do these dumplings taste amazing but they also provide plenty of nutrition that will help keep your little ones energized throughout their day. Plus, if you make them ahead of time and freeze them you can have a quick meal ready in no time!
