Wontons hold a special place in my heart. Sitting around our kitchen table making wontons is something I loved doing with my mother as a child.
Time was scarce, so the chance to make wontons with her became special mother-daughter moments for us. She always had all the fillings ready to go — my favorite was and still is pork, shrimp and vegetables. I’d carefully scoop a bit of filling onto the wonton wrapper and do my best to fold it as neatly as possible.
