Best 6 Wonton Envelopes Recipes

PORK AND SHRIMP WONTON

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Process half of the shrimp and all the pork, ginger and seasonings in a food processor .
• Roughly chop the remaining shrimp and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the spring onions and the mixture from the processor to the bowl. Fold together to combine.
• Put 1 teaspoon of filling onto the center of the wonton wrapper and use your fingers to gently close the wrapper tightly. You can brush a little bit of water onto the edges to help the wrappers seal and stay closed. Sprinkle a thin layer of flour on a large plate. Place the wontons on the plate as you finish forming them.
• Bring a pot of water (or broth) to a boil. Drop in the wontons in batches and cook until they float to the top, about 5 minutes.

WONTON WRAPPERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Mix in the water.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the mixture and slowly pour in the egg and water. Mix well. If the mixture is too dry, increase the amount of water one teaspoon at a time until a pliable dough has formed.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until elastic. Cut dough into two separate balls. Cover the balls with a damp cloth for a minimum of 10 minutes.
• Cut each ball into four equal pieces. Roll the pieces into 10 1/2 by 10 1/2 inch squares. Cut each into nine 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch squares. Use in any recipe that calls for wonton wrappers.

WONTON ENVELOPES

Steps:

• Brush the edges of square wonton wrappers with beaten egg whites; fold in the points to form an envelope (enclose jam, if you want). Deep-fry in vegetable oil until golden, about 2 minutes, then dust with confectioners' sugar.

WON TON WRAPPER APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a miniature muffin pan with cooking spray.
• Insert wonton wrappers into the muffin pan so as to form small cups. Bake 5 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow the baked wrappers to cool. Remove from the pan.
• In a medium bowl, mix the sausage, Monterey Jack, Cheddar, black olives and Ranch-style dressing. Fill the baked wonton wrapper cups with the mixture.
• Bake the filled wonton wrappers 10 to 15 minutes, until the sausage mixture is bubbly and slightly brown. Watch closely so the wonton wrappers do not burn.

FRIED WON TON ENVELOPES

Steps:

• Place one cheese cube in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten edges of wrapper with water and fold corners of wrapper to center, enclosing filling and overlapping edges slightly.
• Place on sheets of wax paper and spray with cooking spray. Cover with additional wax paper to prevent drying out.
• Pour oil to 3 inch in large Dutch oven and heat to 350°F.
• Fry wontons until golden brown on each side, turning once. Drain on paper towels.
• Serve immediately with dip if desired.

WONTON FILLING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss cabbage with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let stand 10 minutes. Wrap cabbage in a double layer of paper towels; firmly squeeze out excess liquid. Return cabbage to bowl; add pork, scallions, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well with a fork. Refrigerate leftover filling up to 2 days.
