How to Fold Wontons

There are many ways to wrap a wonton. I learned wrapping wontons from my mom, who’s like a ninja in this kind of stuff. I got a chance to film her wrapping wontons the other day. So here comes a mini cooking lesson from the master chef, if you’d like to learn how it’s done in my street-smart kitchen. Hope you find this short video helpful. 1. Take one wrapper and lay it on the palm of one hand, the narrow side facing you. Scoop up about 1 tablespoon pork filling and place in the center of the wonton wrapper. Add a piece of shrimp on top. 2. Lift the narrow side of the wrapper and fold towards the wide side, covering the filling completely. The narrow side should go up to the point where there’s about a half-inch left to the wide side. 3. Slightly dip your thumb into the water. Use your fingers to pinch the narrow- and wide-side edges of the wrappers together around the filling, then bend the wonton into a nurse’s hat, using your wet thumb to press the two ends together. When you are done, the wide side will stand up higher than the filling-stuffed narrow side.
