Curry Beef Wontons Recipes

BEEF WONTONS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute for 5 to 7 minutes. Add beef, cumin, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
• Pour beef mixture into a large bowl and add sour cream and Monterey Jack cheese. Mix well.
• Lay out wonton wrappers and add 1 teaspoon of filling to each. Wet your fingertips and seal wraps, folding ends diagonally and folding and pinching corners.
• Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Deep-fry wontons in the hot oil, 2 to 3 minutes each. Drain on paper towels.

BEEF AND VEGETABLE WONTONS

Steps:

• Remove the tough inner core from the cabbage and discard. Mince the leaves. You should have about 1 1/4 cups of cabbage when done.
• Add the cabbage, meat, scallions, carrots, garlic, salt and pepper to a deep bowl. Stir with a fork to mix well.
• Lay 6 wonton wrappers on a counter or cutting board. Fill a small bowl with cold water, and keep it nearby. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon of the filling into the center of each wrapper. Using your finger, dab the edges of the wrappers with a bit of water. Fold the wrappers in half to form a triangle, and press the edges to seal them closed. Fold the tips of the longer edges together, tucking one underneath. Lay the formed wontons flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
• Fill a skillet with 1 inch of oil. Heat over medium heat until shimmering. Add the wontons in batches, being careful not to crowd the pan. Fry until deep golden on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn, and cook until golden on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve hot.

RED CURRY CHICKEN WONTONS WITH PLUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the chicken, lime juice, honey, red curry paste, and cilantro into a medium bowl and mix well by hand.
• Lay out 10 wonton wrappers in a row. Put 1 heaping teaspoon of the chicken mixture into the center of each square. Working quickly, dip your fingers into the water and moisten the edges of the wonton. Fold it over the filling to form a triangle, pressing well to seal. Curl the 2 points in towards each other, moisten 1 point and press them together to form a bishop's hat. Repeat with the remaining wontons and freeze. The recipe may be made up to this point 1 week in advance.
• Pour 3 inches of the vegetable oil into a large saucepan and place over medium heat until a bread cube dropped into the oil browns within 30 seconds. When ready to cook, drop the wontons into the hot oil in batches of 6 until puffed and golden, about 3 minutes. Remove and let the excess oil drain. Garnish with chopped chives and serve with Golden plum sauce on the side.

BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• Heat one tbsp of the oil in a casserole pot over a medium-high heat. Season the beef and fry in the pot for 5-8 mins, turning with a pair of tongs half way until evenly browned. Set aside on a plate.
• Heat the remaining oil and butter in the pan and add the onions. Fry gently for 15 mins or until golden brown and caramelised. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli, turmeric, ground coriander and cardamom and fry for two mins. Tip in the tomatoes, stock and sugar and bring to the simmer.
• Add the beef, put a lid on top of the curry and cook over a low heat for 1 ½ - 2 hrs or until the meat is tender and falling apart. Remove the lid for the last 20 minutes of cooking.
• Stir through the garam masala and cream (if using) and season to taste. Scatter over the coriander and serve with naan breads or rice.

CHINESE WONTONS

Steps:

• Combine pork, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and vegetables in a bowl.
• Separate wonton skins.
• Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of the wonton.
• Brush water on 2 borders of the skin, covering 1/4 inch from the edge.
• Fold skin over to form a triangle, sealing edges.
• Pinch the two long outside points together.
• Heat oil to 450 degrees and fry 4 to 5 at a time until golden.
• Drain and serve with sauce.

RED CURRY DUCK WONTON NAPOLEONS

Steps:

• Cut whole scallion crosswise into 2-inch pieces, then cut lengthwise into thin strips and chill, along with cilantro sprigs, in a bowl of ice and cold water (to crisp and curl) about 1 hour.
• Heat a wok or 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until a bead of water dropped onto cooking surface evaporates immediately. Add 1/4 cup oil, swirling wok to coat, and heat until it begins to smoke. Add minced scallion, ginger, and garlic and stir-fry until softened, about 2 minutes. Add red curry paste (to taste) and stir-fry, breaking up lumps, 1 minute. Add duck and stir-fry 2 minutes. Transfer duck mixture to a large bowl and cool slightly.
• Add mango, pineapple, bell pepper, chopped cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste to duck mixture.
• Heat remaining 2 cups oil in cleaned wok over moderate heat until it registers 390°F on thermometer. Fry wonton wrappers, 1 at a time, turning over once, until golden, about 30 seconds each. Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain.
• Drain scallion strips and cilantro sprigs in a sieve and pat dry.
• Put a wonton wrapper on a plate and top with 2 to 3 tablespoons duck mixture. Repeat layering twice, ending with duck mixture. (Napoleon will have 3 wonton layers.) Top with a cilantro sprig and a few scallion strips. Make 7 more napoleons in same manner.

CURRY BEEF PUFFS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent and starting to caramelize.
• Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spatula, until the beef is cooked through and browned, about 4-6 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
• Add the McCormick® Curry Powder, cumin, sugar, pepper, and salt. Stir until well combined, about 2 minutes more.
• Pour the beef broth into a liquid measuring cup and stir in the cornstarch until dissolved, then pour into the skillet with the beef. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer. Cook until the liquid has thickened and no longer pools, 3-5 minutes. Transfer the beef mixture to a bowl and let cool completely.
• While the meat is cooling, remove the puff pastry from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 25-35 minutes, until thawed but still firm. Unfold the puff pastry sheets and cut each into 6 roughly 5-inch squares.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Spoon 2½-3 tablespoons of the beef filling onto the center of each pastry square. Fold diagonally to form triangles, pressing the edges together and being careful to keep the filling from touching the edges of the pastry. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets.
• Chill the curry puffs on the baking sheets in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up the pastry.
• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
• Remove one tray of puffs from the refrigerator and use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash over the puffs. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and repeat with the remaining puffs.
• Let the puffs rest for 10 minutes, then top each with a sprig of cilantro before serving.
• Enjoy!
