Roll A Wonton

You can boil wontons and serve them in a soup.


A wonton is an appetizer found in Chinese cuisines. It usually has a dough wrapping with minced meat and vegetables inside. You can boil it and serve it in soups or deep fry it. There are several methods for rolling wonton, with varying levels of difficulty. The shape of the wonton roll does not affect its taste, although it may affect whether it is evenly cooked. You can get creative and create your own wonton shapes if you wish.
