Fried Edamame Dumplings
- 1 cup shelled frozen edamame
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons wasabi powder
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for salting water
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil, plus more if necessary
- 2 scallions, roughly chopped
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 2 cups water, plus more for sealing wontons
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup soy sauce, for dipping
- In a small saucepan add edamame to salted boiling water.
- Cook for 1 minute.
- Drain edamame and run under cold water to cool them slightly and add them to a food processor.
- Using a microplane grate the ginger and add to food processor along with wasabi powder, lemon juice, salt, sesame oil and scallions.
- Process until a chunky consistency forms.
- Working with 1 wonton wrapper at a time (cover remaining wrappers with a damp towel to prevent drying), spoon about 1 teaspoon edamame mixture in center of each wrapper.
- Moisten edges of dough with water; fold opposite corners to form a triangle, pinching points to seal.
- In a heat proof pan add about 2 inches oil and heat.
- When oil is hot add dumplings and fry until golden brown about 10 minutes.
- Fry off in batches making sure they don't touch in the oil so they won't stick.
- Remove with a slotted spoon or spider and place on paper towels to absorb the oil.
- Serve warm on a platter with soy sauce.
