Where can I buy Wonton Wrappers???!


Question:

Where can I buy Wonton Wrappers???

I'd like to try and recreate a "Cream Cheese Wonton" recipe from a chinese restaurant chain called Pick Up Stix.

I've tried to locate wonton wrappers at my nearest grocery store (Safeway), but haven't found them. Do any supermarket chains carry these? Or do I need to go to a specialty foods store or an asian market? I'm in Sacramento, California, so if anyone has any advice, please let me know.

Also, does anyone have a good recipe for cream cheese wontons (a seafood-free version)? The only ingredients that I know are in the Pick Up Stix ones are wonton wrappers, cream cheese, and minced water chestnuts.

Thanks in advance to all the replies :)


Answers:

As far as finding the wrappers, most larger chain grocery stores carry them these days. As others have said, look in the produce section. Sometimes they can be hard to find and their location is not exactly intuitive. You may have to ask, but they probably have them.

There probably no other ingredients other than those that you listed. Wontons are often very simple in terms of ingredients. If you want to mix it up a bit, try adding a little ground sausage (I use Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage) mixed with cream cheese or Chopped Spinach mixed with cream cheese as a filler.

Whatever you use, make sure that your ingredients are fully cooked before making the wontons. Simply add a teaspoon or so of the filling (for small wrappers) and seal the edges (I use butter, some use egg or eve water).

Use a little sweet and sour or soy sauce for dipping.

Good stuff.
