Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, add 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add 1 cup each of minced cabbage, carrots, chives, and shiitake mushrooms to the pan. Stir frequently for about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Once the vegetables are tender, stir in 1 cup of mashed pumpkin, mixing thoroughly until everything is well combined.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of curry powder, and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a bowl and allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes.
  6. Take a wonton wrapper and place about half a tablespoon of the filling in the center. Moisten the edges with water and fold to seal.
  7. Flip the triangle over so the point faces down. Pinch the sides tightly to seal.
  8. Heat enough neutral oil in a deep pan over high heat for frying, around 2 cups. Carefully add the filled wontons, frying in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
  9. Once fried, remove the wontons and place them on a strainer or paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce.
