Instructions

  • Next, lay out several wonton wrappers (in diamond form) at a time to fill. Add a heaping teaspoon of the beef mixture into the middle of each wrapper. Wet your fingers with water and run them along the top half (two sides) of the wrapper. Fold the bottom up to meet the top and press down firmly to prevent the wontons from opening later when boiling. Then bring the two ends down to the bottom and tightly cross them (wet one of the ends so they stick). There are many ways to wrap wontons, so feel free to try whatever you’d like.

  • Repeat until you are out of filling. You may end up with 50 – 70 wontons depending on the amount of filling you put in. Wontons can be kept in the freezer if you do not wish to use them right away.

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the wontons. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until they float to the top. If you are using frozen wontons, they may take a couple of minutes longer. Remove wontons and add them to individual soup bowls.
