Fried Wontons: a quick pictorial

by

Last week, I posted a recipe for wontons. Here’s a quick visual of the three-step process that yields the fancy-shaped wontons (they sort of look like meaty nurses’ bonnets…which, I’m guessing, is probably not the most delectable description..okay, they also look cute…there, delectable description accomplished).

So, first you place a small amount of the wonton filling (about a teaspoonful) in the center of the wonton wrapper. Then, as the top picture shows, fold the wonton wrapper in half to form a triangle.

3 Steps to Wontons

Then, referring to the second wonton in the picture, dab a bit of beaten egg glue on one of the bottom corners. Grasp the two bottom corners with your thumbs and pointer fingers and pull the corners together folding one on top of the other.

3 Steps to Wontons

This next step is a bit more complicated, but it gets easier as you practice. Pull the remaining two corners of the wonton up so the filling sinks into the middle. So the filling goes from an outie to an innie (in a culinary, totally non-bodily way!).

Ta-da!
