- Place 1/2 Tbsp of the meat filling onto each wrap
- Brush the edges of the wrappers with water
- Fold the wrappers into a triangle shape and press the edges together while removing as much air as you can – make sure the edges are sealed well
- Repeat with the rest of the wonton wrappers until you run out of filling
Cooking
- Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium heat
- Place as many wontons as will fit on the bottom of the pan – be sure not to crowd the pan
- Brown the bottom of the wontons for approximately 3 minutes.
- Once the bottom is browned, add 1 Tbsp of water, place the lid onto the pan and cook for about 2 minutes. This will allow the steam to finish cooking the wontons
- Repeat until all wontons are cooked
