Uses for Wonton Wrappers / Dumpling Skins (beyond the usual)

I often waste the balance of a package of wonton skins after the initial use because I am maxed out on whatever it was that I bought them for (this time it was dumpling lasagne and a few other viral recipes).

On my list so far:

  • Italian – ravioli, individual lasagne, canneloni / manicotti, etc
  • Central Asian / Eastern European – aushak / mantu, manti, pierogi
  • Asian non-dumpling – sliced up into noodles
  • Other: crunchy baked things like wonton cups or chips or rolls topped or stuffed with various things

Do you use wonton wrappers / dumpling skins for any of these types of things, or have other ways to use them?

Deep Fried won-ton skin wrapped shrimp. Easy and tasty.

:eyes: Those sound really good! Raw shrimp, I assume? Any seasonings?

Raw Shrimp. No seasoning needed, just some dipping sauce.

Do you roll them like a spring roll, or fold over into a triangle?

Roll it like a Flauta. open ended

That’s what I was thinking. The triangles don’t have much filling in the corners and the corners tend to burn in the oven (I’m more likely to bake than fry).

And you added another idea – flautas!
