Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok. Stir-fry garlic, tofu, and mushrooms 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt, sugar, white pepper, sesame oil, and dark soy sauce. Cook 1 minute more; cool.
  2. Bring water, remaining salt, and remaining oil to a boil. Blanch cabbage 2 to 3 minutes. Cool, then squeeze very dry.
  3. Combine tofu mixture, cabbage, green onions, and peanut butter.
  4. Fill and seal wrappers as described in the original recipe.
  5. Fry at 325 F for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden. Drain; serve with sauces.
Vegan option: Use a flour-and-water paste instead of egg to seal. The handwritten baking note is not fully legible; the printed original specifies deep-frying.
