Once they are ready, these sheets are filled with different types of exotic stuffings, made of vegetables or meat, and flavored with spices.

After they are filled, Wontons are compressed into a desired shape and size. You can also experiment with the shape of these Wontons, and make it look more appealing.

Lastly, it is fried, pan fried or steamed and served.

Yield 40-45

Ingredients

• ½ cup (125 ml) water
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 egg
• 2 cups (300 g) all-purpose flour

Method

1. In a bowl, whisk together the water, salt and egg.
2. In a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook or in a bowl with a wooden spoon, combine the flour with the water mixture until a smooth dough forms, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the dough from the bowl and form into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. Cut the dough into 3 or 4 equal pieces. Using a pasta roller or rolling pin, roll one piece of dough at a time into a thin strip 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick.
4. Cut each strip of dough into 2 ½-inch (6 cm) squares. Use to make your own dumplings. The wonton wrappers will keep in the freezer in an airtight container, separated by parchment paper.
