COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

1To create a strong seal, moisten the edges of the wrapper with a small amount of water before pressing them together.
2Do not overfill the wrappers; use about one teaspoon of filling per wrapper to prevent them from bursting during cooking.
3For crispy potstickers, pan-fry the bottoms in oil, then add a splash of water to the pan and cover to steam-cook the rest of the dumpling.
4When boiling, wait for the dumplings to float to the surface, then cook for another 1-2 minutes to ensure the filling is cooked through.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh.

Keep refrigerated in a sealed package and use within a week of opening. To prevent drying, cover the stack with a damp cloth while working with them.
For long-term storage, freeze for up to 3 months. Separate wrappers with cornstarch and store in an airtight freezer bag.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Are dumpling wrappers healthy?

Dumpling wrappers primarily provide carbohydrates for energy and are typically low in fat, especially when steamed or boiled. Their healthfulness largely depends on the filling, as they act as a versatile vehicle for nutrient-dense ingredients like vegetables and lean proteins. Enriched flour versions can also offer B vitamins.

What is the nutritional content of dumpling wrappers?

Per 100g, dumpling wrappers contain approximately 275 calories, 8.5g of protein, 58g of carbohydrates, and 1.2g of fat. They are a good source of quick energy due to their high carbohydrate content and are relatively low in fat.

Are dumpling wrappers gluten-free?

Most traditional dumpling wrappers are made from wheat flour, which contains gluten, and are therefore not gluten-free. However, gluten-free alternatives made from rice flour, tapioca starch, or cornstarch are available in specialty stores or can be made at home.

Are dumpling wrappers vegan?

Many dumpling wrappers are vegan, typically made from just wheat flour, water, and salt. However, some brands may include egg for elasticity or color, so it's always best to check the ingredient list to ensure they meet vegan dietary requirements.

What are the best ways to cook with dumpling wrappers?

Dumpling wrappers are incredibly versatile and can be boiled, steamed, pan-fried, or deep-fried. Boiling and steaming result in a softer, chewier texture, while pan-frying creates a crispy bottom, and deep-frying yields a uniformly crispy wrapper.

Can dumpling wrappers be used for dishes other than traditional dumplings?

Absolutely! Dumpling wrappers can be used creatively for various dishes. They are excellent for making wontons, mini ravioli, crispy cups for appetizers, or even baked into chips. Their neutral flavor makes them adaptable to both savory and sweet fillings.

How should I store fresh or opened dumpling wrappers?

Unopened fresh dumpling wrappers should be stored in the refrigerator and used by the expiration date. Once opened, reseal the package tightly, place them in an airtight container or bag, and refrigerate. For longer storage, they can be frozen for several months.

How long do dumpling wrappers typically last?

Refrigerated dumpling wrappers usually last about 1-2 weeks unopened, or 3-5 days once opened and properly sealed. If frozen, they can last for 2-3 months. Thaw frozen wrappers in the refrigerator overnight before use.

What are dumpling wrappers usually made from?

Most common dumpling wrappers are made from a simple dough of wheat flour and water, often with a pinch of salt. Some varieties may include egg for added elasticity and a richer color, or different flours like rice flour for specific textures or dietary needs.
