Lesson #6 Cream Cheese Wontons and Spicy Buffalo Wontons

This was an exciting week of making wontons. We had our exchange student from Brazil join us during the week for a class. Felipe, enjoyed the wontons. He asked if it was Mexican food. I told him, "They are a combination between Chinese and American food.

Every child had the opportunity to make several wontons. We learned that making wontons is very simple. Meet also learned quickly that we should not over stuff the wontons. They tend to ooze and open when they are overstuffed.

We also used fresh minced garlic and soy sauce instead of the garlic salt. They were much tastier. 

We baked and did not fry the wontons. We still got a crispy texture without the calories. Now that's, a bonus.

The kids were introduced to a salad chopper and a handheld chopper. We used the salad chopper to shred our chicken and the handheld press chopper for our green onions. We used less hot sauce, since many kids were not fans of the spicy sauce.

Cooking Tip: We made the spicy buffalo wontons the same way as the regular cream cheese wontons. They were so much better this way. If you choose to make a mini cupcake bite, make one and see if you like the way it comes out.
