Wontons · Vegan · Sichuan Style
Eight vegan wontons in spicy Sichuan sauce — chili oil, black vinegar, sesame. Plant-based wonton in the same format as the pork and chicken versions. $10 for 8 pieces, fully vegan.
Spicy vegan wontons solve a specific problem: how do you participate in the best sauce on the Ugly Dumpling menu — the Sichuan chili oil dressing — if you don't eat meat? The answer is this dish. Eight plant-based wontons, same format as the chicken and pork-shrimp versions, same spicy Sichuan sauce, fully vegan from wrapper to filling to dressing.
The filling follows the same logic as the vegan dumplings in the dim sum section: mushroom, tofu, and vegetables provide the body and umami depth that makes a plant-based filling satisfying rather than hollow. In the context of a Sichuan chili oil sauce, the lighter filling actually works in the dish's favor — the sauce takes center stage, the filling provides texture and a neutral canvas, and the overall flavor is cleaner and more sauce-forward than the meat versions.
At 360 calories for 8 pieces, spicy vegan wontons are the lightest item in the wonton section by a significant margin. The lower protein count (12g vs 26–28g for meat options) is the honest trade-off of a plant-based filling, but the calorie and fat numbers (12g fat, 860mg sodium) are the most favorable of any wonton option. At $10 for 8, the value is identical to the chicken wontons.
