  • Roll out all sides of your wonton wrapper so that the sides are thinner than the middle and the wonton wrapper is larger.
  • Add 1 large tbsp into the middle of your wonton wrapper.
  • Brush the edges of your wrapper with a light layer of water.
  • Fold two opposite corners onto on another and pinch to seal.
  • Bring the two remaining corners together and pinch all 4 corners together at the top to seal.

Boil method

  • Bring a pot of water up to a boil then add your wontons to cook for 5-10 minutes. A good way to tell that they are cooked is when they float to the top.

Deep fry method

  • Bring a pot of oil up to 350F and fry for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Air fry method

  • Lightly brush your wontons with oil and place in air fryer for 10 minutes at 360F.
