(Minnas Birthday) - Tutorial 2 - How to make Wonton

Peter, another of the guests was Chinese. From Shanghai to be more precise. He contributed with Chinese Wonton dumplings. He promised to bring his mother, but she contributed with the filling instead. Peter wasn't 100% sure about everything that was going in there, but he thought it was pork and Chinese spinach and definitely rice vinegar wich is unique for the Wontons from Shanghai. What ever it was it tasted delicious. Different from the Gyoza skins these where much thinner, due to they where not going to be fried. Wontons are either served boiled or deep fried and sometimes in a soup. These kind of dumplings are common in southern china.

Step 1.
Take a square Wonton skin.












Step 2.
Add some filling.












Step 3.
Fold once.













Step 4.
Fold a second time.












Step 5.
Pinch both ends to seal.












Step 6.
Fold in the middle.













Step 7.
Apply some water with your finger and seal by pinching.




































Step 8.
When you are ready it should look something like this.













Step 9.
Boil them for about 5 minutes, and enjoy with some vinegar, and/or chili and soy.
