    1/2   lb           Firm tofu
  1       tb           Corn or canola oil
                       -- (amount may be doubled)
  1       t            Minced ginger root
    1/2   c            Chopped onion
  1       tb           Curry powder -- blended with:
  2       tb           Water
  1       t            Cornstarch -- blended with:
  1       tb           Water
  1       tb           Sesame oil
 20                    Wonton skins
                       Oil for deep-frying
    1/4   lb           Fresh mushrooms -- minced
  1                    Soy sauce (or double amount)
    1/4   ts           Pepper
  1       t            Sherry
    1/4   ts           Paprika
  1       t            Low sodium instant bouillon
                       -- chicken, or vegetable
                       -- (amount may be doubled)

 Dry the tofu and crumble into small pieces with a
 fork.  Heat oil in a nonstick wok; saute ginger root
 until brown.  Add chopped onion and blended curry
 powder; stir and cook for 2 minutes.

 Add tofu, mushrooms, soy sauce, pepper, sherry,
 paprika and bouillon; bring to a boil.  Add sesame oil
 and blended cornstarch; mix well.  Cool.

 Place a portion of the curried tofu (about 2
 teaspoons) in the center of a wonton skin.  Fold the
 skin diagonally into the shape of a triangle.  Seal
 the edges with water.

 Heat oil for deep-frying.  Fry the tofu triangles
 until brown and crisp. Serve with vinegar, equal
 amounts of soy sauce and vinegar, or Sweet and Sour
 Sauce, or eat plain.  Makes 30 triangles.

 well. -K.M.]
