Homemade Dumpling Wrappers for Wontons, Gyoza & Co

Step 1

*Note: Check out the recipe video + step-by-step guide above for visual instruction!

Step 2

Whisk together the flour and salt in a bowl. Pour in the hot water and mix with chopsticks until the liquid has been absorbed by the flour. Place the dough on a working surface and knead with your hands for about 3-5 minutes until a smooth and soft dough forms. Then form the dough into a ball, wrap it tightly in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes. (If making gluten-free dough continue with the next step immediately; do not chill it).

Step 3

After the chill time, divide the dough into 2 or 4 pieces and wrap each piece in cling foil again. Start with one piece at a time and put the others back in the refrigerator to prevent them from drying out. Roll one piece out on a lightly floured work surface to be about 2 mm thick.

Step 4

To make wonton wrappers, cut out squares with a pizza cutter (approx. 3“x3“, 7.5x7.5-cm). Or to make gyoza wrappers, cut out circles, using a round glass or cookie cutter (approx. 3-4“, 8-10-cm diameter). Use leftover dough to cut out more wrappers. Then fill and fold however you like (or stack them up for later use*).

Step 5

Remove the next dough portion from the refrigerator and repeat this process to make more wrappers.
