Frichik Wontons!

Submitted by Enjolinfam

"I was so excited to find this Frichik recipe! Don't substitute anything else for it or it won't taste the same. Look for Worthington FriChik and McKay's Chicken-Style Seasoning in health food stores or some supermarkets. It comes in a can, and is a tender, juicy, healthful alternative to chicken, made from textured wheat gluten. These wontons take a little extra time, but to me they are worth it! From the "Choices - Quick and Healthy Cooking" cookbook."

 

• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 32 wontons
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 12 1⁄2 ounces Worthington FriChik (I usually keep the juice from the can to make a vegetarian gravy)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 carrot, peeled and grated fine
• 1⁄2 cup water chestnut, chopped fine
• 1 teaspoon chicken-flavored vegetarian seasoning (I use McKay's Chicken-Style Seasoning)
• 32 wonton skins

directions

1. In food processor, chop well-drained FriChik until very fine. Place in a small mixing bowl.
2. In food processor or by hand; finely chop the onion and add to FriChik. Add the grated carrot, chopped water chestnuts, and McKay's Chicken-Style Seasoning. Mix well.
3. To assemble: Place wonton square on flat surface and put 1 teaspoon of filling in the center. Brush the edges of the wonton lightly with water. Fold the bottom corner up to meet the top corner, making a triangle, and seal edges. This shape is best for browning the wontons evenly if you are sauteing or baking them. For a facier design, pull the outside corners together and twist slightly.
4. To cook: Spray wontons and nonstick skillet with nonstick vegetable spray. Add wontons to skillet and cook on medium-high temperature, turning after 2-3 minutes when wontons are lightly browned and crunchy. Or put wontons sprayed with nonstick spray on cookie sheet also sprayed with nonstick vegetable spray and bake in 450 degree F oven until lightly browned, approximately 10 minutes per side.
