Home Made Wantans
Being away from home, I get cravings once in a while for food back home. One day I had the craving for wantan mee and decided to seek it out at a nearby chinese restaurant.Well, the wantans were the size of marbles. That was it. I went grocery shopping and set out to make my own overstuffed wantans to satisfy my inner wantan monster.
Here they are. The theory is to stuff them enough, but not overstuff them to the point that they can't close.
The filling is fairly easy to make - just minced meat of your choice (chicken, pork, beef, whatever), some minced mushrooms, soy sauce, pepper and cornflour all mixed up and stuffed into pre-made wantan skins that you can get in stores.
The good thing about them is that you can make a huge batch and freeze them - which is what I did. All you have to do is take them out of hte freezer, pop them into boiling water and there you have it - overstuffed wantans, just the way I like them.
Now, all I have to do is make the noodles.
