  2. Place tablespoons of the mixture on each wonton, brush edges with water, fold in half and press to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork.
  3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the dumplings and cook for a minute or so on each side, until the bases are golden brown.

Notes

Tip
These dumplings have HOT soup inside them so you need to be really careful with that first bite as the liquid squirts out and can burn your mouth.
Tip
You can also serve these with dumpling sauce. You can buy this from Asian grocers or find it in the Asian section of your supermarket.
Storage
You can make these dumplings and freeze them in an airtight container to cook another day. Just make sure that you place sheets of baking paper between each so they don’t stick to each other, and defrost thoroughly before cooking.
