Wonton Wrapper

Wonton wrappers are thin, square sheets of dough, typically made from wheat flour, water, and sometimes egg. Their smooth, silky texture and pale yellow color make them perfect for creating a variety of Asian-inspired dishes. When cooked, wonton wrappers become delightfully tender or crispy, depending on the cooking method, offering a subtle flavor that complements both savory and sweet fillings. They are a versatile ingredient for homemade wontons, dumplings, and crispy snacks, easily found in the refrigerated or frozen section of most grocery stores.
