Gather the Ingredients for Homemade Wontons.

- seasonings: ginger, soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Other- sesame oil, cornstarch
Let’s Make some Homemade Wontons.
SIS simple is smart steps to making these yummy wontons:
- Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl.
- Place 1 1/2 tsp of the filling on the wrapper.
- Dip your index finger in water and “paint” water around the outer edge of the wrapper
- Fold the wrapper over to form a pocket with the filling sealed inside.
- Finish folding the wonton as shown in the video.
Homemade Wonton Dipping Sauce:
The dipping sauce is super quick and easy to make. Whisk together:
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce with 1 tsp. Rice vinegar and 1 tsp sesame oil. Add 1 tbsp. Sugar and 1 tbsp. Chopped scallions. Finish with a few drops of your favorite hot sauce, and a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds.
Fry the Wontons or use them in Wonton Soup.
Deep fry the wontons in a deep fryer or a deep frying pan with at least 3 inches of oil in it. Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature. Keep the oil a steady 375-degrees F. If the oil is too cold, the wontons soak up oil and are greasy and heavy. If the oil is too hot, they burn.
Serve hot with a dipping sauce or a Sweet Chili Sauce.
