After experiencing Wonton cravings for weeks, I finally got the nerve to make them myself. The process itself is not difficult, but it is a bit time consuming. I called my mom for a recipe, but like any mom she told me "a little of this...a little of that," i.e. ingredients, but no specific quantities. I guess that's what happens you know you're a pro. I adapted my mother's advice with a recipe that appeared in the Bold Italic article on dumplings in the city. I omitted shrimp because it's expensive, and I'm not a huge fan. I also left out water chestnuts...mostly because I was too lazy to get them and am not particularly partial to them in wontons. Other than that, I basically followed the recipe, but I also added an egg yolk as per my mother's recipe. Here's a link:

It's actually pretty self explanatory. Wrapping them is fun, but like I mentioned before, a bit time consuming. Be prepared to wrap around 40 with that recipe!
