How To Fold Wontons

Step 1

Get your folding station set up: Lay out your ingredients and equipment on a work surface. You'll need your filling, a small spoon or teaspoon, square wonton wrappers, a small bowl of water, and a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 2

Fill the wonton: Place a wrapper in one hand and place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

Dampen the edges of the wrapper: Dip your finger into the bowl of water and moisten the edges of the wrapper with the water.

Step 4

Fold the wonton: Fold the wrapper in half into a triangle shape.

Step 5

Get rid of any air bubbles: Press the edges together to seal it well, pressing out any air bubbles.

Step 6

Do the final fold: Bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together, and seal them with a little water. You will now have a little hat-shaped dumpling with a top point.

Step 7

Lay the wonton down: Place the wonton on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 8

Fill the remaining wrappers: Continue filling and folding the remaining wrappers, placing the folded wontons in a single layer as close together as possible without touching.
