How to make Won Ton

Won ton is a comfort food for me that reminds me of better days growing up when we'd sit around the table wrapping won ton and sharing some family time.

What you want is probably "Won Ton Thin Wrappers". Here in the SF Bay Area, we're blessed with an abundance of Asian markets and food manufacturers so we have a choice of wonton wrapper, sui gow (literally water dog, they're for thicker skin water dumplings), siu mai wrapper (dim sum), and gok or kok jai skins (thick skins for frying - there's photos of this on my cooking blog wildchopsticks (link added to bottom of description). In general, thin skin for boiling. :)

Thanks so much for the video and the recipe on your site - I have made these lots of times now and they turn out perfect every time!!

YUMMY! I love wonton soup and I prefer them a bit meaty with a thinner wonton wrapping. Yours looks like the way I would like them. Going to try this soon. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for the feedback, Wendy! I'm really happy that it helped. You can use variations on the technique to make Dim Sum too!.

Thanks Ken :) If you get the time I would LOVE to see the technique for the Dim Sum - I tried just by looking at photos but they didn't come out so well lol Any help very gratefully received!

Joanna I'm sorry! I had put the link for my travel blog. I have updated the link to the exact page of the food blog that has the recipe. Please let me know if you have any questions! :) Thanks - Ken

Sorry to be a pain, but I also wondered what to ask for with the won ton skins - I like the thin ones you use but last time I bought very thick, yellow ones and they were not so nice. Just wondered if there is a term for them I can ask for when I go to the Asian grocer (who is an absolute sweety but I sometimes am ignorant in what to ask for). Thanks again!

very nice demonstration thank you!
The filling is raw meat right. Then how do you cook it. do you boil it in hot water or deep fry it.
please kindly let me know.
once again great recipe.
