1/2 lb Firm tofu
1 tb Corn or canola oil
-- (amount may be doubled)
1 ts Minced ginger root
1/2 c Chopped onion
1 tb Curry powder; blended with:
2 tb Water
1 ts Cornstarch; blended with:
1 tb Water
1 tb Sesame oil
20 Wonton skins
Oil for deep-frying
1/4 lb Fresh mushrooms; minced
1 Soy sauce (or double amount)
1/4 ts Pepper
1 ts Sherry
1/4 ts Paprika
1 ts Low sodium instant bouillon

-- (amount may be doubled)
Dry the tofu and crumble into small pieces with a fork. Heat oil in a
nonstick wok; saute ginger root until brown. Add chopped onion and blended
curry powder; stir and cook for 2 minutes.
Add tofu, mushrooms, soy sauce, pepper, sherry, paprika and bouillon; bring
to a boil. Add sesame oil and blended cornstarch; mix well. Cool.
Place a portion of the curried tofu (about 2 teaspoons) in the center of a
wonton skin. Fold the skin diagonally into the shape of a triangle. Seal
the edges with water.
Heat oil for deep-frying. Fry the tofu triangles until brown and crisp.
Serve with vinegar, equal amounts of soy sauce and vinegar, or Sweet and
Sour Sauce, or eat plain. Makes 30 triangles.
