So last time I made something like this it was cream cheese wontons, and ALL YALL KEPT ASKING FOR WAS DANG CRAB RANGOONS! Which I don’t blame you, they’re delicious and were always a favorite of mine. I’m just so happy they’re easy to veganize!
I’m really excited to announce that this recipe is in collaboration with Follow Your Heart! They’re one of my favorite brands, and I’ve gotten so many requests to make more recipes using their products from y’all, since they’re so accessible across the US. The product I used in this recipe is their cream cheese! It’s so dang good and really sends this recipe over the top!
These wontons are so easy to make. I personally love jackfruit in them so that’s what I used, but you can use oyster mushrooms, canned artichokes, hearts of palm, mock fish, etc. just as easily! Also have you ever made homemade sweet and sour sauce? Because trust me it’s incredible. It’s perfect for dipping these in, but also great for stir frys and a bunch of things!
