Ingredients
  

  • Wonton wrappers
  • Filling of choice
  • Water

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by placing a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you.
  2. Step 2: Spoon a small amount of filling (about 1 teaspoon) onto the center of the wrapper. Don't overfill, or sealing will be tricky!
  3. Step 3: Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. This helps create a good seal.
  4. Step 4: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling to create a triangle shape. This is where the magic begins!
  5. Step 5: Press the edges together firmly to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets. You want these little guys to stay together during cooking.
  6. Step 6: For a decorative touch, bring the two side corners of the triangle together and pinch to seal. It adds a lovely flair!
  7. Step 7: Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling until you have a delicious assortment.
  8. Step 8: Cook the wontons according to your preferred method - whether you choose boiling, frying, or steaming, they'll be scrumptious!
