I made the Vegan version today with tofu, cabbage, and green peppers. I used firmer tofu(its and variety available in the grocery stores).

Shred cabbage and green peppers as fine as possible.

A small tip for shredding cabbage: I use the vegetable slicer to shred cabbage; it is so simple and quick.

You may also use shredded carrots, turnips, and radishes. Each vegetable brings out a distinct taste and flavor to these pan-fried wontons.
