Unique Jicama Wonton Fillings: A Healthy and Delicious Recipe

Ever thought about using jicama in your wonton fillings? Turns out, I’m not the only one! After a quick Google search, I discovered many food bloggers have tried it too. Today, I’m excited to share my own recipe with you. Jicama’s sweet and crunchy texture adds a unique twist to the traditional wonton filling.

Health Benefits of Jicama

Jicama is not just tasty; it’s packed with nutrients! Here are some key benefits:

  • Dietary Fiber
  • Vitamin C, E, and B6
  • Folate
  • Potassium
  • Manganese
  • Copper
  • Iron

These nutrients offer several health benefits:

  • Improves Digestion
  • Boosts Immune System
  • Manages Blood Pressure
  • Enhances Blood Circulation
  • Improves Brain Functioning
  • Increases Bone Strength
  • Aids in Weight Management

Extra Ingredients for an Added Boost

In my recipe, I also include black fungus and dried shiitake mushrooms, although these are optional.

Black Fungus (Wood Ear) Benefits:

  • Rich in vitamin K, which helps prevent blood coagulation, thrombosis, and embolism.
  • Contains iron, cellulose, and plant collagen, which promote intestinal health, prevent constipation, and help remove toxins.
  • Can help dissolve gallstones, kidney stones, and bladder stones, and even prevent cancer.

Let’s Get Cooking!

Before we dive into the health benefits of all the ingredients, let’s start our recipe!

Tips for Making Wontons:

  1. Wrappers: You can find wonton wrappers in any Asian supermarket and many regular supermarkets in the US.
  2. Freezing Wontons: Arrange uncooked wontons on a baking sheet, freeze them, and then store them in airtight bags. This recipe makes about 7-8 bags, with 12 wontons in each.
  3. Black Fungus and Shiitake Mushrooms: These can be purchased on Amazon; links are available in the ingredient section.
  4. Soup Base: Use any kind of stock, not just chicken. If you don’t have stock, use the water from boiling the wontons and add soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil. Garnish with cilantro and scallion for added flavor.
