Won Ton Dough Recipes

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine mustard, soy sauce and wasabi until the wasabi has dissolved. Cover and refrigerate.
• Place cream cheese in a large bowl (preferably chilled metal). Mix in crab meat, onion, water chestnuts and parsley. Place one spoonful of the mixture in the center of each won ton wrapper. Bring points of the wrapper together (in a triangular shape) and pinch the edges closed. If the edges do not stick together, wet your fingertips lightly with water and pinch the ends together again (this will help to hold the won ton together).
• Heat oil in a large skillet. When oil is hot, place won tons (approximately 6 at a time) into hot oil. Remove the won tons when they are golden brown. Drain them on a paper towel lined tray. Repeat this process until all won tons are fried. Serve with dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Place pork in mixing bowl.
• Pick over watercress to remove tough stems. Drop watercress into boiling water and let stand about 30 seconds. Drain immediately and run under cold water. Press to extract excess water. Chop until fine, then add to pork.
• Add all remaining ingredients except pepper, won ton skins and chicken broth and stir.
• If thin won tons are desired, roll each skin with rolling pin or put through noodle machine, or they may be stuffed just as they are. Fill each skin with teaspoon of filling. Keep stack of won ton skins covered with damp cloth so they do not dry out.
• To fold, bring up two sides of won ton skin and pinch all around to seal in filling. Dampen edges with a little water if necessary to make them stick. Pull two bottom edges together and pinch firmly to seal.
• Continue until all filling is used. As you work, cover finished won tons with damp cloth to prevent drying out.
• Bring several quarts of water to boil in large kettle and add won tons. When water returns to boil, add half cup of cold water and let water come to boil again. Won tons are done when they float to top.
• Heat chicken broth. Put a little salt and pepper into bottom of individual serving bowls and pour in hot broth. Ladle few cooked won tons into each bowl and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Sift flour, cornstarch and salt into a bowl, and make a well in the middle.
• Add the egg and pour in the water.
• Mix the egg and water into the flour mixture with a spoon.
• When this all binds together, scrape the spoon clean, and use your hands to work the dough into a smooth ball, leaving the bowl as free of the mix as possible.
• Knead the dough on a clean surface until it's very smooth.
• Cut the dough in half and wrap both portions in plastic wrap.
• Set aside for 15-30 minutes.
• Roll out one portion at a time.
• Dust work surface and rolling pin lightly with cornstarch, then roll out dough until thin and even.
• Either cut into squares, or use a circle cutter for dim sum and dumplings.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Mix in the water.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the mixture and slowly pour in the egg and water. Mix well. If the mixture is too dry, increase the amount of water one teaspoon at a time until a pliable dough has formed.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until elastic. Cut dough into two separate balls. Cover the balls with a damp cloth for a minimum of 10 minutes.
• Cut each ball into four equal pieces. Roll the pieces into 10 1/2 by 10 1/2 inch squares. Cut each into nine 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch squares. Use in any recipe that calls for wonton wrappers.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot with 3 quarts of water to a boil over medium heat.
• Add the lemons, onion, spice mix and the corn. Let boil for about 5 minutes before adding the shrimp. Cook the shrimp until they curl, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the mixture and remove the shrimp to a strainer. Run cold water over them to stop them from cooking. Cut the corn off the husk and add the kernels to a large bowl. Add the jalapenos, cream cheese, butter, salt and pepper and stir gently to combine. Coarsely chop the shrimp and gently mix them into the corn mixture.
• Lay the won ton wrappers out on flat surface and put 1 teaspoon of the corn mixture in the middle of each wrapper. With your finger or a pastry brush, coat the outside edges of the wrappers with beaten egg. Fold the 4 corners of the wrappers to the top and seal down the sides, bring careful to push out all the air. Make sure you get a tight seal on all of the seams. Fry the won tons in the hot oil until they are golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove from the oil and arrange on a serving plate. Serve with the dipping sauce.
• For the dipping sauce:
• Add all the ingredients in a serving bowl and mix well to combine.
