Bite Size Appetizers

Over the years I’ve learned a thing or two about hosting parties. Some of the bigger lessons include –

1. It will always be a mad frenzy to get everything ready an hour before the party starts, no matter how much I plan ahead
2. Always get more wine than you think you need, running out mid-party is embarrassing
3. The best appetizers are the ones that are small enough to enjoy without using a fork

Wonton Wrappers for the Win

I’m no stranger to wonton based appetizers – and for good reason! They are the perfect way to wrap up a bunch of delicious flavors into a single bite.

That’s why I was so excited to enter the Twin Dragon Asian Wrapper Blogger Recipe Challenge from JSL Foods. Not only because I love their products, but because I also love wonton inspired appetizers.

I’ve previously shared my love for these Vegetarian Wonton Bites and these Mini Ahi Poke Wonton Bowls. Both are simple appetizer ideas that feature wonton wrappers.

For this contest, I wanted to make something a bit more savory and that featured some of my favorite flavors – curry, greek yogurt and cranberry.

I also chose to bake the wontons because that means less time standing over the stove trying to fry them up last minute before guests arrive. They come out beautifully golden brown and crispy!

Tips for Cooking with Wonton Wrappers

Once the filling is ready, lay your wonton wrappers out so that they are easy to fill. Almost like an assembly line. Your fingers tend to get a bit messy during this process, so having the wrappers already set up with save you time and paper towels!

You only need about 1-2 tsp of filling in each wonton. If you put too much it will spill out the sides while cooking.

Once you’ve placed the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper, brush all 4 sides with a little bit of egg wash. This will help the wontons seal.

I also like to push down around the actual filling to get as much air out of the wonton as possible. This way your guests are biting into a big pocket of air.
