Does this remind you of traditional Chinese gold ingots (金元宝, pronounced jin yuan bao) ?
Now, it is time to "showcase" how these little wontons, dumplings gems are wrapped (Click "Play" in the video clip below). I promise I would in this post. Though I enjoy gyoza for its crisp dumpling bottom, I absolutely love boiled dumplings and favor them for the simplicity of preparation and cooking. With boiled dumplings, I can dump them in all kinds of soups and create so many comfort meals such as Wontons in Chicken Soup, Spicy Wontons - Wontons in Korean Stew and Wontons in Cabbage Soup. Of course, the dumpling fillings can have thousands of variations ( I exaggerated, or did I?). So you can imagine the variety of exciting comforting meals you can have.

Amazing how they keep their shape with just a bit of moistening to hold them skin in place.
ReplyDeleteSo cuteeeee! And they remind me of tortellini! Thanks for taking the trouble to make this video. Love your dumplings, and like you, I love boiled dumplings with a fiery spicy dip! Yummy!

I was just thinking to make some wontons soon. I like it boil more actually : ) healthier! I like making a batch and freeze some of them to enjoy later.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tutorial! I've been making lots of potstickers lately, and sticking them in the freezer. So handy for soup or just to make a meal of them!
ReplyDeleteyay I learnt a new way of wrapping wanton. Mine is just half triangle :x Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video lesson. I've always been won-ton-challenged. Mine just never came out looking very cute. But I feel prepared to tackle a new batch now.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like how chefs would wrap ravioli! Thanks!
