COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

1Keep unused wrappers covered with a damp paper towel while assembling to prevent them from drying out

If edges become dry or brittle, lightly mist with water to restore flexibility before use

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How long do wonton wrappers last in the refrigerator?

Unopened packages usually last until the expiration date. Once opened, they should be used within 5 to 7 days if kept in an airtight container.

Can wonton wrappers be frozen?

Yes, they freeze very well. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before using.

What is the best substitute for wonton wrappers?

Gyoza or dumpling wrappers are the best substitutes, though they are usually round and slightly thicker. Spring roll wrappers can be cut into squares as a thinner alternative.

Are wonton wrappers vegan?

Most traditional wonton wrappers contain eggs, making them not vegan. However, some brands offer egg-free versions; always check the ingredient label.

Can wonton wrappers be baked instead of fried?

Yes, they can be brushed with a little oil and baked at 375°F (190°C) until golden and crispy, which is a healthier alternative to deep-frying.

How do I know if wonton wrappers have gone bad?

Look for signs of mold, a sour or off-smell, or significant discoloration (usually grey or dark spots). If they are extremely dry and crumbling, they are past their prime.

What is the difference between wonton and dumpling wrappers?

Wonton wrappers are typically square and thinner, often containing egg. Dumpling (gyoza/potsticker) wrappers are usually round, slightly thicker, and may not contain egg.

How do I seal wonton wrappers so they don't open while cooking?

Dip your finger in water or an egg wash and run it along the edges of the wrapper. Fold and press firmly to remove air bubbles and create a tight seal.

Are wonton wrappers gluten-free?

Standard wonton wrappers are made from wheat flour and contain gluten. Gluten-free versions are rare in stores but can be made at home using rice flour or gluten-free blends.
