  • The most important tip is to avoid overfilling the wonton. It’s so easy to do. Only put about a teaspoon of filling in the wonton before sealing it up.
  • Fish sauce sounds so gross but it is really a key ingredient! It adds an undeniable punch of flavor that will have everyone saying “Why is this so GOOD?”
  • You can seal the wonton several ways, watch the video below to see how I did it. But you can bring the middle centers together too and that will work.
  • Make sure to use water to help the wonton to stick together.

Would thinly sliced chipped beef work if addd to the filling? I like meat. Just thinking out loud.

It would work, but that isn't the usual flavor profile in wontons. If you give it a try, I would love to know what happens.
