Pork and Shrimps Chinese Dumplings/Wontons

March 20, 2013 by Ariel 8 Comments

Ohhh Dumplings!  I have a serious obsessions over them.  Either it’s the classic Chinese pork and shrimps served with hot sauce or dijon mustard, like the one I’m presenting you today, or something more exotic like bananas and strawberries served with chocolate or maple/honey sauce, I love them all…

They are fairly easy to do and it only take a bit of patience because the result is beyond tasty and you can be sure that you will be surprising your guest with these cute little appetizers.  What’s also fun about them is that they are super versatile!  You can pretty much fill them with anything you like and either steam, fry, boil and bake them without any problems and every ways will end up different and delicious.

Like I’ve mentioned, today I’m presenting you how to make the classic pork and shrimps dumplings that are shaped in a cute little “coin purse” or like I enjoying calling them; the kitty cat heads because of the cute “cat ears” on top.  I even prepared some step by step photos of the folding process because I thought maybe my bad, broken English would have been too complicated for you guys to understand. 😉 lol

I hope you’ll enjoy this recipe!

Basic Wonton Wrappers Dough Recipe

Ahhhh wonton wrappers… I am sincerely in deep deep love with my homemade wrappers.  I always have some in my freezer.

….Ok let me explain this first sentence without looking like a retard…lol

It’s just that, this dough is amazing!!  You can bake it, fry it, steam it, boil it and every ways it makes something delicious!  From pasta to chips, passing by spring rolls and pie cups, you can create so many goodies so this is why I’m in love with my homemade wonton wrappers.  Oh and let’s not forget that they are super healthy too!  Only a few calories by wrappers makes them a wise choice in a lot of recipes (no worries, I’ll be posting a few now that this recipe is live).

Nobody never really show me how to make wonton wrappers but after reading and searching online, it’s pretty much like I had special teachers showing me the recipe and technique that was going to change my kitchen forever.  If you’re not already making your own, just give it a try and see how amazing they are.  Don’t hesitate to make the taste test with the store bought version and you’ll see.  On my side, it was a revelation 🙂  Everything is always better when it’s homemade 🙂
