Wonton Skins Gyoza Skins Recipes

HOMEMADE GYOZA WRAPPERS

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together flour and salt. Then, add water and mix with a wooden spoon/spatula.
• With your hands, start forming dough. It will be hard at the beginning but keep kneading (you can transfer the mixture onto a worktop if it's easier for you). It will take about 5-7 minutes to knead into a ball. The dough will be flaky at first, but it just needs more kneading (like you can see on the process photos).
• When ready, place it in a plastic bag or cover in plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes (or longer) on your kitchen counter.
• Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces. Put one piece back in the bag. Roll the other half until thin. You should not need a lot of flour for dusting. (Instructions for authentic way of rolling gyoza dumplings are in the post above this recipe card)
• Fill, fold and cook using your favorite method or freeze for later use!
• Enjoy!

WONTON SKINS/ GYOZA SKINS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl stir together the flour and salt. Slowly stir in the warm water to make a stiff dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for 02 minutes.
• Divide dough into fourths. Roll each fourth into a 12 inch square. Keep remaining dough covered. For wontons, with a sharp knife or a pastry cutter, cut the dough into 3 inch squares. To prevent the squares from sticking together, sprinkle with a little cornstarch; stack and refrigerate the skins in a plastic bag. Fill according to directions on these pages; cook as directed in individual recipes. Makes 64 wonton skins.
• Egg Roll Wrappers: For egg roll wrappers, prepare the Wonton skins dough as directed above; roll each fourth into a 12 inch square. With a sharp knife or a pastry cutter, cut the dough into 6 inch squares. Sprinkle the squares with a little cornstarch to prevent them from sticking together; stack and refrigerate the wrappers in a plastic bag. Fill and cook the egg rolls according to the directions in individual recipes.
