Making vegetable dumplings from wonton wrappers is a fantastic way to enjoy a homemade, customizable, and satisfying treat that’s sure to impress family and friends alike. This fun and easy recipe invites you to get creative with fresh vegetables, turning them into bite-sized pockets of flavor. Start by chopping a colorful mix of vegetables such as carrots, cabbage, and green onions.

Whether you prefer steaming, pan-frying, or boiling, each method offers a unique taste experience. These vegetable dumplings are not only a healthy snack but also a fun activity for cooks of all ages.

Using Wonton wrappers is a fantastic shortcut for making pierogies, allowing you to create these delicious dumplings quickly and easily. Pierogies can be served boiled and then pan-fried or baked, and are best complemented with toppings like sautéed onions, sour cream, bacon, or fresh herbs like basil. Serve alongside kielbasa, sauerkraut, roasted vegetables, salads, or soups for a crowd-pleasing meal that is easy to make and enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 2 russet potatoes, washed, peeled, and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 garlic clove(s) peeled and sliced lengthwise
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • ½ cup sharp cheddar shredded
  • 2 – 3 Tbsp sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 36-count package of wonton dumpling wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons of butter for sautéing pierogies
  • Salt for boiling water

Directions

  1. Combine cut potatoes and garlic in a medium saucepan. Cover with water, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and set the pan over high heat. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and boil for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the diced onions. Cook onions until soft and translucent. Remove from heat.
  3. Drain and transfer the potato and garlic to a large bowl; add the cheese, onion, and sour cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Mash the mixture together. The mixture should not be dry; it should hold together so it can be scooped with a spoon, and it should not be loose or runny.
  4. Place wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Add a large spoonful of filling in the center of each wrapper. Wet the edges with your fingers, fold the wrapper in half to form a semicircle, and press the edges to seal. To prevent the dumplings from drying out, cover with plastic wrap or place the dumplings on a flat cookie sheet and freeze until ready to use.
  5. When you are ready to cook, bring a large pot of water seasoned with 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil. Drop the pierogies in the boiling water and stir. After 2 – 3 minutes, pierogies should float to the top and be finished cooking. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon and drain.
  6. Heat a skillet with 2 tablespoons of butter on medium heat. When the butter is melted, drop the boiled pierogies into the melted butter and sauté until golden brown on either side.

Cooking with Wonton Wrappers

Cooking with Wonton Wrappers

Cooking with wonton wrappers, is a new experience for me.  I was looking on-line for a low calorie ravioli recipe and discovered won-ton wrappers work great for ravioli. Just use like you would traditional pasta ravioli by placing a teaspoon of filling off center, wet the edges with egg wash and bring the corners together and seal for the perfect ravioli. Gently boil in water for 4 minutes, drain and eat immediately.

There are typically four ways to cook wontons—steaming, boiling, baking and frying.

  • To bake a wonton wrapper – Spritz both sides of wonton wrappers with refrigerated butter-flavored spray. Press into mini-muffin cups and bake at 350° for 4 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned, then add filling and bake 5 minutes longer.
  • You can also steam filled wontons, but they won’t have the same crispy texture as the baked ones. Simply steam 3 to 5 minutes in a steamer basket lined with lettuce leaves (to prevent them from sticking).
  • To boil, simmer stuffed wontons for the same amount of time in a pot of water.

One thing to remember when using wonton wrappers is that they are delicate and dry out quickly. To avoid having them dry out and crack, place a clean damp towel over the opened package of wontons while using them…and an additional damp towel over the finished wontons until serving.
