My attempt to make wontons is finally here. Something that has been on my list of projects to cook for over 2 years, the day finally came. This recipe of Marion inspired me. So here is my feeble first attempt to make them. I think wontons or dumplings are much easier than what we think, but they sound quite intimidating. But really just see them as empanadillas. Are you afraid of empanadillas?? probably not. Well, it is the same concept. Also the folding is not rocket science....just do your best, and it will be fine. You will freeze them so that is what holds them together in the soup and don't come apart, the fact that they have been frozen for 2 weeks or 2 months.
The good thing about this recipe is that you can use it to make meatballs, no need of the wrapping and wow they taste awesome too. Here is my recipe. It is pretty dang asian I must say. My korean friend Crystal thought they were pretty astonishing.

Another 25 wraps of gyoza, wontons, dumplings.
STEPS:
1. Just mix everything together well.
2. Add a little to each wrapper and close them up with a little water and set on a plate and freeze. Just set them on some type of paper when you are about to freeze them or they get stuck to the plate in the freezer.
Do you ever get confused about green onions, spring onions, shallots, scallions etc? This article has helped me.
