Instructions
Prep
- Prepare your tofu ground beef or store-bought vegan crumbles according to recipe or package directions. Set aside.
- Stir together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, black pepper, and 5 spice. Set aside.
Make the Wontons
- Stack the wonton wrappers and slice them into wedges or thin strips—about ¼-inch wide. Place strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with oil and sprinkle with salt or seasoning.
- Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 4–6 minutes, turning wontons over or shaking the basket halfway through. They’re done when golden and crisp—keep an eye on them, they brown quickly.
Cook the Stir Fry Vegetables
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped white ends of green onion and cook 1-2 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and ginger; cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the shredded cabbage and carrots and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the soy sauce mixture and toss with cabbage..
- Stir in tofu ground beef or vegan crumbles. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Remove from heat. Top with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve on its own or over rice or noodles for a full meal.
Notes
- My tofu ground beef crumbles work best for the recipe. They take just minutes to prep and then cook in the oven or air fryer while you make the prep the rest of the dish. You can also make them ahead of time and store them until ready to make the dish. If you use a packaged vegan meat crumble, the flavor may vary slightly as each brand seasons its product differently.
- Once you mix in the ground tofu crumbles, give the recipe a taste and adjust any of the seasonings to your personal preference before serving.
- If you’re shredding your own cabbage, make sure it’s done in thin strips so that everything cooks evenly and you get a burst of all the flavors with each bite.
