Ingredients
  

  • filling
  • wonton wrappers
  • water

Instructions
 

Ingot Wonton

  • Make a rectangle by folding the wrapper in half.
  • Then, from the folded side of the rectangle, hold both corners and bring them together to meet in the middle.
  • Next, dip your fingertips in water and wipe them on where you want the two sides to stick together. The two corners should overlap on top of each other to stick together for sealing.
  • Pinch the two sides to seal.

Sichuan Chaoshou

  • Make a triangle by folding the wrapper in half.
  • Then, from the folded side of the triangle, take the left and right pointed ends and bring them together.
  • Next, dip your fingertips in water and wipe them on the two pointed ends of the triangle.
  • Pinch the two pointed ends together to seal.

Bow Tie Wonton

  • Fold the wrapper in half to make a rectangle.
  • Then, fold it again in half to make a square.
  • Next, pinch and hold the corner of the folded side of the square (not the side with the opened flaps).
  • While you are holding the folded corner, bring the lower flap up and invert.
  • Then, take the folded corner you are pinching and bring it to the middle to stick with the other side. It should look like a bow tie from this point.
  • Dab some water to seal it.

Fish Wonton

  • Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle. But instead of making it into a perfect triangle, fold it in a way that the other half is slanted to the right, giving you two pointed ends on top or a letter M.
  • Start pleating the top ends from the left side until you reach the right side.
  • Next, dip your fingertips in water and wipe them on the pleated top parts to seal. The pleated side should look like the tail of a fish.

One Step Wonton

  • Place a wonton wrapper on one hand.
  • Then, add the filling in the center using chopsticks.
  • With the chopsticks still in place, scrunch the wrapper towards the chopsticks with your hand and slide the chopsticks out.
  • Press the ends firmly to form a creased pouch
  • Dab a bit of water at the creased top ends and seal.
