How To Make asian essentials: wonton wrappers

• 
  Step 1
  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• 
  Step 3
  Mixing the Dough Add the flour to a bowl and mix in the egg. Then slowly add the water, a bit at a time, until you have a shaggy dough.
• 
  Step 4
  I am using a stand mixer, fitted with a dough hook; however, you could use a bowl and mix by hand.
• 
  Step 5
  Remove from the bowl, and knead on a clean floured surface until you have a firm ball that is not too sticky, about 5 – 6 minutes.
• 
  Step 6
  If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle on a bit of flour and work it in until it does not stick to your hands. If the dough is too dry, sprinkle on a bit of water and work it into the flour.
• 
  Step 7
  Cover with plastic, and let rest for 30 minutes.
• 
  Step 8
  Cut into three or four sections, and roll into ropes about six inches wide. Cut off pieces and roll into balls about half the size of a golf ball.
• 
  Step 9
  Using a rolling pin or a pasta machine, roll the dough out until about 1/8 inch thick.
• 
  Step 10
  If you want them perfectly round, you could use a large cookie cutter. In addition to circles, I cut the dough into squares, so I could make wonton triangles.
• 
  Step 11
  Fill them with whatever you fancy, and then deep fry or bake until golden brown and yummy.
• 
  Step 12
  PLATE/PRESENT
• 
  Step 13
  Serve with a side of rice and/or a good Asian dipping sauce. Enjoy.
• 
  Step 14
  Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

  Step 15
