    First time wrapping dumplings and I think they came out so good! Just don’t look too closely at my pleating, please. Surprisingly the gyozas were much easier to wrap than the wontons. I did pick out all the ugly ones for the photo/taste first so you don’t see the true failures in the photos lol.

    I did not make my own wrappers because I wanted to save on time. I knew I wanted a few hundred to place in my freezer and wanted the convenience of premade wrappers.

    Cream cheese wontons were actually not planned but I did the math wrong for the wonton filling and had leftover wrappers to use. Thankfully I had cream cheese on hand. 🙂

    Chicken stock –

    * Roughly 6lbs a mix of chicken necks and backs, roasted in the oven until golden brown
    * 5″ knob of ginger
    * Small handful of garlic cloves (probably 8-12 cloves)
    * 5 scallions

    All together in a large 32qt stockpot. Add water until 2″ above bones. Simmer for 15+ hours. Scrape scum off the top during the first few hours. Will add a pitcher of water one time 1/2 through the process. Fish out bones + veg, discard. Strain through fine mesh strainer a couple of times. Let come to room temp for a few hours. Place in fridge to cool overnight. Scrape fat off the next day and store into deli containers or ziploc bags to freeze.

  4. I love a good dumpling making session. I make my own as well due to allergies. I am going to try your wonton recipe! Thanks for sharing.
