Wontons Recipes

Steps:

• Combine pork, water chestnuts, green onions, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt and ginger in medium bowl; mix well. Place 1/2 teaspoonful pork mixture in center of each wonton skin. Fold wonton skin over filling to form a triangle. Turn top of triangle down to meet fold. Turn over; moisten 1 corner with water. Overlap opposite corner over moistened corner; press together firmly.
• Heat oil in wok or large saucepan over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F. Deep-fry wontons, a few at a time, 2 to 3 minutes, or until brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with ketchup and mustard or sweet & sour sauce, as desired.

Steps:

• Combine pork, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and vegetables in a bowl.
• Separate wonton skins.
• Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of the wonton.
• Brush water on 2 borders of the skin, covering 1/4 inch from the edge.
• Fold skin over to form a triangle, sealing edges.
• Pinch the two long outside points together.
• Heat oil to 450 degrees and fry 4 to 5 at a time until golden.
• Drain and serve with sauce.

Steps:

• For the dipping sauce: Mix together the honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, vinegar and sesame oil in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the wontons: In the bowl of a mixer (or you can do it by hand), mix together the cream cheese, Sriracha and green onions until totally combined (scrape the mixer bowl if necessary). In a separate bowl, mix together the egg and 1/2 cup water.
• One at a time, assemble the wontons: Place approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on one corner of a wonton wrapper. Use your finger to "paint" the egg wash all around the edges of the wrapper. Roll the wrapper on a diagonal, starting with the cream cheese corner and stopping when half the wrapper is rolled and the cream cheese mixture is inside. Bring up the 2 ends and use the egg wash to stick them together. Allow the remaining pointed end to naturally tuck backward. (The wontons should resemble tortellini.) As you work, place the assembled wontons under plastic wrap or a light towel to keep them from drying out.
• Heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large saucepan or medium skillet until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers just under 350 degrees F. (You don't want the oil too hot or it will burn the wontons! Experiment with a spare sheet of wonton wrappers to check.)
• In batches of 4 or 5 at a time, fry the wontons for 45 seconds to 1 minute, flipping carefully midway through to make sure they brown evenly. Remove them when you think they still could stand to slightly brown a teeny bit more (because they will slightly brown in the seconds after you remove them from the pan!). Drain the wontons on a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining batches.
• It's best to wait 5 to 10 minutes before serving the wontons, as the cream cheese filling can be quite hot. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or soup pot heat the oil over medium high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon of the garlic and 1 tablespoon of the ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the 1/4 cup of sliced scallions and the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low so that the broth just simmers. Allow broth to simmer for at least 20 to 30 minutes while the wontons are being assembled.
• In a small mixing bowl combine the remaining teaspoon of minced garlic, remaining tablespoon of chopped ginger, 3 tablespoons of finely chopped scallions, the pork, egg yolk, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and crushed red pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
• Working on a flat work surface, lay out a few of the wontons. (Keep remaining wonton wrappers covered with plastic wrap.) Fill a small bowl partially with cool water and set aside. Using a teaspoon measure, place a heaping teaspoonful of the meat filling in the center of each wonton. Using your fingers, lightly wet the edges of the wonton. Bring 2 opposite corners of the wonton together to form a triangle and enclose the filling, pressing edges firmly around the mound of filling to eliminate any air pockets and seal. Moisten opposite corners of the long side. Curl moistened corners toward each other, overlapping one on top of the other, and press the edges together to seal. You should now have a rounded stuffed wonton with a triangle poking up at the top. Assemble the remaining wontons in the same manner. When the wontons are all assembled, set aside.
• Add the sliced bok choy, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots to the broth and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Using your hands or a slotted spoon, gently add the prepared wontons to the simmering broth. Increase the heat slightly so that the broth returns to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally (very gently), until the wontons float and the pork filling is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• To Make The Wontons: In a bowl combine all the filling ingredients.
• Open the wonton wrappers and keep them under a dampened cloth.
• Place a wrapper on a surface with a corner pointing toward you. Brush the egg wash along the four edges of the wrapper. Place a second wrapper on top and press the edges together to seal. Put 2 teaspoons of filling on the center of the wrapper. Pick up the corner closest to you and fold the wrapper over the filling, making a triangle with the long side at the bottom, closest to you.
• Press down on the edges to seal in the filling while at the same time pushing out any air. Put egg wash on the top of the left tip and the bottom of the right tip. Keeping the wonton flat on the surface, bend the tips toward you and cross them, putting the right tip on top of the left tip. Squeeze together to seal. Repeat with remaining filling. Reserve prepared wontons on a tray covered with a cloth. You can keep formed wontons in your refrigerator for up to 3 hours, or, to keep them longer, freeze them on the tray and, when frozen, knock tray on edge of table to loosen them and put them into plastic bag, seal it and return them to the freezer. They will keep for up to 1 month.
• To Make The Broth: Heat 1 gallon or water to a boil in a stockpot.
• Add pork neck bones, fowl, ham bone, dried fish, ducks feet, chicken wings, celery, carrots, onions and scallions.
• Bring to a boil and simmer 1 1/2 hours, then drain.
• To drained stock add yellow food coloring, msg, wontons, bok choy, and slivers of pork. Simmer for 10 minutes and serve.

Steps:

• Make the wontons: Preheat an air fryer to 325˚ F. Mix the pork, scallion, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, garlic, ginger and sugar in a medium bowl until well combined.
• Spread out the wonton wrappers on a work surface. Scoop 1 teaspoonful of the pork mixture into the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges; fold in half to make a triangle. Fold in the two lower points to look like an open envelope; seal with a dab of water. Brush both sides with sesame oil.
• Add the wontons to the air fryer basket. Cook, flipping halfway through, until golden, 10 minutes.
• Make the dipping sauce: Whisk the soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds and scallion in a small bowl. Serve with the wontons.

Steps:

• Mix together the pork, prawns, spring onions, garlic, ginger, oyster sauce, oil and water chestnuts.
• Peel off a wonton wrapper and, with a pastry brush, lightly brush round the outside with cold water. Place 1 tsp of mixture in the centre and scrunch up into a pouch, squeezing to seal. Do not overfill. Repeat until you have around 35-40. (These can be chilled for up to 1 hr on a tray lined with baking parchment.)
• For the sauce, mix together the soy sauce, sherry and ginger in a small bowl. To steam, bring a large pan of water to the boil. Line a bamboo or metal steaming basket with lettuce leaves to fit.
• Arrange half the pouches in the basket (without them touching), cover and steam for 5 mins. Remove with tongs to a platter and steam the rest - check the water level. Serve, sprinkled with spring onion or sesame seeds, with the bowl of sauce.

Steps:

• Mix the salt and the flour.
• In a small bowl, add 1/4 cup water to the egg and beat gently.
• Make a well in the middle of the flour, and add the egg-water mixture.
• Mix into the flour, adding remaining water as needed.
• Knead the dough into a ball.
• Keep kneading until smooth (several minutes).
• Place the dough in a large bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 1 hour.
• Cut the dough into quarters.
• Place one of the quarters on a well-floured surface, and roll out with a rolling pin until very thin.
• Cut the dough into the desired shapes (usually squares or circles).
• If stacking, dust the wrappers lightly with flour or cornstarch to keep them from sticking together.
• Keep cut wrappers covered with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out too much.
• Repeat with the other quarters.
• If not using immediately, wrap in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Steps:

• For the wonton filling: Place the shrimp, pork, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the oyster sauce and sesame oil in a medium bowl and mix with your hands to combine. Let marinate while you prepare the stock. (If time allows, marinate for at least 20 minutes and up to overnight; refrigerate if marinating for more than 2 hours.)
• For the broth: Bring 2 quarts water to a simmer in a large saucepan or pot and whisk in the chicken base until completely dissolved. Add the remaining broth ingredients and let simmer for at least 5 minutes.
• Continue making the wontons: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of 1 wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with some of the beaten egg. Pinch in all the sides to make a small sack, enclosing the filling. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
• For the noodles: Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions. During the last 3 to 5 minutes of cooking time, add the wontons and continue to boil until the wontons are cooked through and float to the top. Drain the noodles and wontons.
• For the assembly: Ladle 2 cups of the broth into each of 4 deep bowls. Divide the noodles and wontons among the bowls. Garnish with the scallions and cilantro.

Steps:

• Combine pork, onions, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes & soy sauce in bowl. Set aside.
• Grate cabbage into another bowl. Cover with
• boiling water. Stir. Drain & Squeeze out as much water as possible.
• Combine cabbage with pork mixture.
• Place about 1 tsp of this mixture in center of wonton skin and fold, wonton style*.
• Deep fry at 375 for about 3 minutes. Drain. Serve hot with dipping sauce.
• * Wonton skins packages have folding directions printed on them. If not - try this:.
• Lay skin on board with corners pointing North, south, east & west (Diamond shape).
• Place filling a little north of center. Moisten edges. Fold south tip up to north tip. Press edges to seal. Bring east & west tips in to center. Bring the north tip down towards eat/west tips. Oh Heck -- If you are old enough to remember, make it look like a diaper!
