How to wrap and fold wontons, Kylie Kwong style
Wonton goes into the broth. Other times, it is deep fried. It should not be confused with shaomai (siu mai, siomai), the pork dumpling with open tops one finds in dim sum carts and usually served for yum cha. We had wonton soup for lunch today but before I post the wonton recipe, let me provide this simple tutorial on how to wrap and fold wontons.
One website says there are several ways of wrapping and folding wonton. I did it the way Kylie Kwong did in one of the episodes of her My China series on her TV show. Click on the thumbnails to view the step-by-step illustration.

Until recently, I didn’t know there were so many ways of wrapping wontons. I used to think there was just the right way and the wrong way. Now, I know it depends on the regional origin of the wonton that determines how they are wrapped. What one learns everyday…
Hi Sass,
Any brand that you can recommend for the wrapper?
I buy Jimcu but then that’s because it’s the only brand available at Shopwise Antipolo.
