Boiled dumplings (云吞 ) - my most-used freezer friendly recipe, so easy and versatile
I have cooked wontons many times, in so many ways such as Spicy Wonton Soup, "Mathematical" Mince with Wonton Noodles, Fried Seafood Wonton, Seafood Wonton Soup,Sweet Peanut Butter and Banana Wontons and not forgetting the simple boiled wontons or dumplings that my friend, YJ, imparted to me. In fact, the latter are those "little gems" that form the base of my dumpling repertoire above.
Boiled wontons or dumplings are also a perfect match for Spinach Soba Noodles with Mushrooms during summer. It completes a meal.
Ever since I learn how to make wontons, they have become my most-used freezer-friendly recipe. I usually make batches of them (3-4 batches, ~15 wontons per batch) and they make cooking so easy during weekdays.
YJ also told me that the dipping sauce for dumpling (饺子) is actually vinegar and garlic, and not vinegar and ginger like what we commonly see in Singapore. Oh ye?
Wonton Dipping Sauce Recipe (*Sauce only, without garlic or ginger*)
Ingredients: black vinegar, worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, water
(P.S. quantity of each ingredient remains secret because it is how I was taught)
Ok. Learn to make wonton today, will you?

ReplyDeleteThat looks so very, very good!
ReplyDeleteamazing photos. I love the plates!!!
ReplyDeleteI love wanton but never make batches to freeze them, perhaps I should. Need to buy lots of ground pork first. I still prefer vinegar and ginger sauce. :P
ReplyDeleteBTW, beautiful pictures!
They look so perfect to me!
ReplyDeleteLove your wanton so much. They are not only lovely but looks yummy to me!
ReplyDeleteIt was a bad idea to come visit you before breakfast...this looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteWill you make some for me?
Yeah, make some for me too! :D
ReplyDeleteYour wontons look lovely.
ReplyDeleteAny tips on how to freeze and defrost them properly?
Further, my wontons tend to "dissolve" in the water. How to prevent this?
Thanks!

sigh. my kids wont eat wonton, how to learn?
ReplyDeleteAw, this reminds me... I had a nearly full package of wonton wrappers in the freezer, and then we went away for a day and the freezer door wasn't all the way closed, and a bunch of frozen vegetable stock I had in an ice cube tray melted and spilled all over the place. We had to throw out a bunch of stuff including, alas, the wonton wrappers.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
I'm fasting today! grrr.... On doctor's order.
ReplyDeleteAnd I see my favourite dumplings!

ReplyDeleteWow, that looks yummy. And of course I quite like the name "mathematical dumplings". I will have to look at that recipe in more detail.
ReplyDeleteLove Wantons as well :) Don't know how to make them. Good thing they are available in the groceries...hehehe.

Beautiful boiled dumplings! So nicely presented with the soba noodles. I agree, frozen dumplings are ultra convenient and easy. I probably ate them two or three times during the weekday last week!

ReplyDeleteWanton noodle is my son's favourite. We don't take pork, so I'll make shrimp wanton. It tastes fantastic! You should try it, too!
