These appetizers disappear quickly! They are also great dipped in a mixture of soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.

THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY the BEST! I made these for the family on a whim as they wanted Chinese food and I had everything that needed - minus the wrappers. They were easy to assemble and a pleasure to eat! My kids thought they tasted like we were at a restaurant. Crispy, fresh ingredients and perfect flavor! Thanks for sharing - this is a KEEPER!

    Delightful recipe! I did a few things differently: 1) I used a beaten egg instead of water to bind the wonton. 2) I fried wontons at 400 degrees for 2 minutes and they turned out puffy, but still good. (My deep fryer doesn't go to 450 degrees!) 3) I left out the ginger for half of the recipe for my mother who hates ginger. The recipe is tastey with and without ginger. 4) I pan fried some of the wontons in oil over medium heat until golden, flipped them, took off heat, covered and steamed for 2 minutes. This method worked well. Thanks for a great recipe, will use again!

    These are so good! They are so much better than the heat and serve frozen appetizers that you can buy. I made the full recipe and it gave me about 55 little bundles. I fried them as directed and then placed the cooled wontons on a cookie sheet and froze them individually before packing them in ziploc bags. Tonight, I took out one bag and popped them into my toaster oven and they were defrosted in no time. I served them with plum sauce and they were a hit. Thanks for showing me a way to impress our Chinese exchange student!

    These are maaaarvelous! I am on WW and made them for a party, and they simply were the talk of the crowd (and 2 points each)! Wonton wrappers found in produce aisle of grocery store. I also tried steaming a few and although the fried ones are better for a party, I held the steamed ones aside for just me! Made a great lunch! Susan
