Vegetable wonton recipes for vegetarians

How hard is it to find vegetable wonton recipes?

Pretty hard, in fact.

Wontons are predominantly made with meat, especially fatty pork as they are juicier.

I was quite confident that I'll find some vegetarian wonton recipes but I was wrong. I only managed to find one. I hope I will be able to find more in the near future to share here.

The best thing about the vegetarian wonton is that not only the vegetarians benefit, we who eat almost anything can savour such creative parcels too.
