Master the art of restaurant-quality cooking at home
What's the story
Wonton wrappers, used extensively in Asian cuisines, are a secret weapon for creating restaurant-quality dishes at home.
These thin sheets of dough can be stuffed, folded, and cooked in a variety of ways to create crispy, chewy, or tender bites of flavor.
Perfect for appetizers or main dishes, wonton wrappers provide a canvas for culinary creativity without the need for advanced cooking skills.
Crisps
Sweet and savory crisps
To make wonton wrapper crisps for appetizers or snacks, simply cut them into triangles, brush with olive oil or butter, and season with your favorite spices or herbs.
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for five to seven minutes until golden and crispy.
For a sweet treat, try using cinnamon sugar instead of savory spices.
Dumplings
Hearty vegetarian dumplings
Vegetarian dumplings with wonton wrappers are easy to make.
Just mix shredded cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, and tofu with soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger for the filling.
Spoon a little onto the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold it into a triangle or purse, and steam or boil them until done.
Lasagna cups
Innovative lasagna cups
To make a fun and unique lasagna, use wonton wrappers as your pasta layers in a muffin tin sprayed with a bit of cooking spray.
Layer each with ricotta cheese blended with spinach, marinara sauce, and shredded mozzarella.
Top with another wrapper and repeat the layers.
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes and voila! Perfect individual servings.
Tacos
Fusion taco bites
To make fusion taco bites, use wonton wrappers as mini taco shells.
Press them into a muffin tin sprayed with cooking spray to create little cups.
Fill each cup with cooked black beans and corn kernels lightly seasoned with taco seasoning mix, and then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top before baking at 375 degrees Fahrenheit until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Fruit pockets
Delectable fruit pockets
Finish your meal with a sweet treat by making fruit pockets!
Use wonton wrappers filled with diced fresh fruits (strawberries or peaches work well), gently mixed with cream cheese (softened) and powdered sugar.
Seal the pockets by wetting the edges and pressing firmly, then fry in hot oil until golden brown.
Serve immediately, dusted with powdered sugar on top.
