Dumplings and wontons are simple and typical food in Asian household.
Jump to RecipeI remember making the dumplings with my mom when I was around 5 years old. Not using the knife yet, but I would roll up the dough, mix the filling, and wrap them individually. It was so much much and grew my interests of cooking over the years.
I love Wontons as well, they are light, filling and full of proteins and vegetables. When I don’t want to have hot soup, I will cook it and mix with hot chili oil sauce. Super yummy~ See the recipe below.
For the protein, you can always substitute to your preference like pork, fish, or even tofu. All the ingredients are available in major supermarket not just Asian market. If you have a chance to make it, please leave a comment and let me know what you think. Enjoy cooking and eating, explore with Nora ~

Notes
Line the wontons with space in between on a baking sheet, and flash freeze them for one hour. Remove them from the freezer, place them in a freeze safe storage bag. It can keep up to 2-3 weeks. ( I like it fresh, so I won’t keep it for too long, even in the freezer)
