Won Ton Dough Recipes

CRISPY WONTONS

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.

GLUTEN FREE WONTON WRAPPER RECIPE

Steps:

• Whisk together flour and salt in a small bowl; in a separate bowl combine the eggs and water. Slowly stir the egg mixture into the flour with a fork and mix until a sticky dough forms. Divide the dough in half and cover one half while working with the other. Prepare a clean counter or pastry mat by generously flouring with more gluten free flour. Flour a rolling pin as well, then turn one half of the dough out onto the floured mat and roll gently in each direction until the dough is evenly thinned, almost so thin you can see through it. Measure 4 ½ - 5 inch squares and cut with a pastry cutter or butter knife. Layer each square on top of each other on a plate and cover with a damp tea towel while preparing the remaining dough. Re-roll the dough scraps to create more wrappers, so that all the dough is used to make approximately 10 wonton wrappers. Use wrappers in your recipe before they dry out, or cover and refrigerate for 3-5 days until ready to use in your recipe. They will get somewhat more fragile with refrigeration, so bring to room temperature before rolling and spritz with more water if necessary. Makes 10 wonton wrappers; recipe is easily doubled.

WONTON WRAPPERS

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.

CHINESE WONTON WRAPPERS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg with the salt. Add 1/4 cup water.
• Sift the flour into a large bowl. Make a well in the middle and add the egg and water mixture.
• Using a fork, mix the liquid in with the flour. Add as much of the remaining water as necessary to form a dough. Add more water than the recipe calls for if the dough is too dry.
• Form the dough into a ball and knead for about 5 minutes, or until it forms a smooth, workable dough.
• Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out until very thin and cut into 3 1/2-inch squares.
• Sprinkle some flour on both sides of the wonton wrappers to prevent the wrappers from sticking to each other. Store in the fridge for up to a week. Check below for storage suggestions.
• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together.
• Knead into a smooth and workable dough.
• Cover and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to flatten the dough until the dough is thin enough to be fed through the pasta machine.
• Flatten the dough using the pasta machine on the thinnest setting.
• Cut the flattened dough into 3-inch squares and sprinkle some flour on both sides of the wonton wrappers to prevent the wrappers from sticking together.
• Put the wonton wrappers in a plastic bag or airtight container as soon as possible to stop them from drying out. Store in the fridge for up to a week. Check below for storage suggestions.

HOMEMADE DUMPLING WRAPPERS FOR WONTONS, GYOZA & CO

Steps:

• *Note: Check out the recipe video + step-by-step guide above for visual instruction!
• Whisk together the flour and salt in a bowl. Pour in the hot water and mix with chopsticks until the liquid has been absorbed by the flour. Place the dough on a working surface and knead with your hands for about 3-5 minutes until a smooth and soft dough forms. Then form the dough into a ball, wrap it tightly in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes. (If making gluten-free dough continue with the next step immediately; do not chill it).
• After the chill time, divide the dough into 2 or 4 pieces and wrap each piece in cling foil again. Start with one piece at a time and put the others back in the refrigerator to prevent them from drying out. Roll one piece out on a lightly floured work surface to be about 2 mm thick.
• To make wonton wrappers, cut out squares with a pizza cutter (approx. 3"x3", 7.5x7.5-cm). Or to make gyoza wrappers, cut out circles, using a round glass or cookie cutter (approx. 3-4", 8-10-cm diameter). Use leftover dough to cut out more wrappers. Then fill and fold however you like (or stack them up for later use*).
• Remove the next dough portion from the refrigerator and repeat this process to make more wrappers.

WON TON DOUGH

Steps:

• Sift flour, cornstarch and salt into a bowl, and make a well in the middle.
• Add the egg and pour in the water.
• Mix the egg and water into the flour mixture with a spoon.
• When this all binds together, scrape the spoon clean, and use your hands to work the dough into a smooth ball, leaving the bowl as free of the mix as possible.
• Knead the dough on a clean surface until it's very smooth.
• Cut the dough in half and wrap both portions in plastic wrap.
• Set aside for 15-30 minutes.
• Roll out one portion at a time.
• Dust work surface and rolling pin lightly with cornstarch, then roll out dough until thin and even.
• Either cut into squares, or use a circle cutter for dim sum and dumplings.

WONTON WRAPPERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Mix in the water.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the mixture and slowly pour in the egg and water. Mix well. If the mixture is too dry, increase the amount of water one teaspoon at a time until a pliable dough has formed.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until elastic. Cut dough into two separate balls. Cover the balls with a damp cloth for a minimum of 10 minutes.
• Cut each ball into four equal pieces. Roll the pieces into 10 1/2 by 10 1/2 inch squares. Cut each into nine 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch squares. Use in any recipe that calls for wonton wrappers.

VEGAN DUMPLING WRAPPERS FOR WONTON, POTSTICKERS, AND GYOZA

Steps:

• Place the flour in a mixing bowl and create a well in the center. Add the water slowly to the well while stirring to combine the flour and water gradually. Stir together until all the water is absorbed. With clean hands, gather the dough into a ball. Turn it on to a clean surface and knead for one minute. The dough should not stick; add a small amount of flour if necessary. Place the dough back into the bowl and cover with a plate or lid. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes to an hour. Divide the dough into managable pieces if you like. Dust the work surface with a little cornstarch if the dough sticks. Roll out the dough into a large flat piece, about 1-3 millimeters thick (1/32" to 1/16"). Cut the dough into squares or use a cookie cutter or cup to cut out circles. The size is up to you but I like to make wrappers 3" to 4" wide. Remove the trim, knead it into a ball and place in the covered bowl for a few minutes. Then roll it out to create more wrappers. Dust the wrappers with cornstarch before stacking them up. Use right away or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
