Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium avocado
  • ¼ tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tbsp cilantro, freshly chopped
  • ¼ pepper
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 1 cup cauliflower, in large pieces
  • 2 tbsp shallots, diced
  • 2 asparagus spears, diced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 12 frozen wontons (Trader Joe's Mini Wontons)
  • 3 tbsp teriyaki sauce (Trader Joe's Soyaki Teriyaki)
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tsp Thai basil, fresh

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Skillet
  • Chef's Knife
  • Frying Pan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Start by making the guacamole. Remove the skin and pit from the avocado. Dice the avocado and transfer it to a bowl. Add the garlic salt, pepper, and cilantro. Use a fork to mash these together until well combined. Set aside the guacamole.
  2. Now, let’s move on to the stir fry! Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add in the carrots, cauliflower, asparagus, and shallots. Sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften. The vibrant colors will look so appetizing!
  3. Next, it’s time to add the frozen wontons. Carefully place them in the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir gently to combine and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing them to crisp slightly. You’ll want to ensure they’re heated through.
  4. Now, pour the teriyaki sauce over the wontons and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Then, add water, cover the skillet with a lid, and reduce the heat to medium-low.
  5. Let it simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, or until almost all the liquid has evaporated. You should see a nice glaze coating the wontons and veggies. Check that the wontons are thoroughly heated and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Once the liquid has reduced, uncover and stir the stir fry a few more times to ensure everything is well combined. The wontons should have a lovely golden color by now.
  7. Remove the skillet from heat. It’s time to plate your creation! Spoon the stir fry onto a plate and top it with a generous scoop of the guacamole you prepared earlier.
  8. Finally, finish by garnishing with a sprinkle of Thai basil. This adds a pop of freshness and elevates the dish visually. You’re now ready to enjoy your homemade Trader Joe’s Chicken Cilantro Mini Wonton Stir Fry!

Notes

Frozen wontons are fantastic! The Trader Joe’s Chicken Cilantro Mini Wontons used in this stir fry recipe are a great choice. Feel free to use any frozen wontons you’d like; pot stickers can work too. I find that garnishing with fresh herbs like Thai basil adds a nice touch to the dish. It’s a great meal prep option where you can dice up all the vegetables and keep them ready for a few days. And trust me, it only takes about 20 to 30 minutes to make this, so it’s perfect for quick lunches or dinners!
