Ingredients
  • 3 large avocados
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
  • 20 to 25 round gyoza wrappers (or substitute square wonton wrappers)
  • Water, for sealing wrappers
  • Canola oil, for frying
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons apricot marmalade
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine peeled and chopped avocado, lemon, salt and chopped cilantro. Gently mash half of the avocados, but leave a good portion of it chunky.
  2. Prepare a small cup of water for sealing the wontons. Place a small teaspoonful of the avocado mixture into the center of the gyoza wrapper. Using your finger, dip finger in water and trace along the edge of half of the wrapper. Fold up the wrapper to seal the two sides together. Repeat until all of the avocado mixture is wrapped.
  3. In a medium pot, heat canola oil on medium high. TIP: Test the oil by dropping a small piece of a gyoza wrapper into the oil. If it sizzles quickly and the color tans quickly, it is ready for use.
  4. Fry each avocado wonton for less than a minute on each side until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on a paper towel or rack. Try not to overcrowd the pot.
  5. FOR DIPPING SAUCE: Combine equal parts soy sauce and apricot marmalade and mix well. Serve immediately with warm avocado wontons.
