Instructions

Method 1: The Bonnet

  • Take a square wonton wrapper, and use your index finger to dab the edges of the wrapper with water.
  • Place 2 teaspoons of filling in the middle of the wrapper, and fold in half to create a rectangle.
  • Grasp the bottom corners of the rectangle (the filling side, not the seam side), and dab one of the corners with a little water.
  • Bring the two corners together and squeeze to seal.

Method 2: The Diamond

  • Take a square wonton wrapper, and use your index finger to dab the edges of the wrapper with water.
  • Place 2 teaspoons of filling in the middle of the wrapper and fold in half along the diagonal to create a triangle.
  • Dab one of the filling-side corners of the triangle with water. Bring the two corners together and seal.

Method 3: The Scrunch

  • Place a 1/2 teaspoon of filling on the wrapper.
  • Make a loose fist with your hand, and drop the wrapper/filling lightly into your fist.
  • Gently squeeze to seal.
