How do you keep won tons from sticking together? Send Print

Ron ~ How do you keep won ton from sticking together when filling them with pork or whatever?  Each time we make them, they stick together and become one big mess.  Mahalo!!

Answer
First, when you're filling the won ton pi, you need to moisten your finger with water and run it along one edge of the won ton and then fold the won ton over. That will ensure that it will stick together so the filling doesn't spill out when you're frying or steaming it.

Then, to keep the individual won tons from sticking to each other, you need to put them on a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper (not food wrap). Then don't crowd them together as you place them on the wax paper. If you want to make double sure they don't stick together, you might want to sprinkle a little cornstarch on the wax paper before you start placing the won tons on top (it also makes the won tons easier to move around on the paper). Then, I would wait about 15-20 minutes and let the won tons rest before you deep fry them or steam them. If you aren't planning to use them right away, put the waxed paper in a cake pan and when you're through making the won tons, put another sheet of waxed paper on top and then refrigerate. I wouldn't use Saran wrap because that just traps in any moisture and that's what makes the won tons stick together.
