I've never made won tons before, and my family LOVED these! I misread the recipe, and instead of putting half a tablespoon of meat mixture into the wanton skins, i put half a teaspoon. I couldn't figure out why the recipe made so many, but it was enough meat to dough ratio to not matter- everyone was happy to have extras! I omitted the salt, as i figured the soy sauce would offer plenty of saltiness, and they turned out perfectly. Aside from that and the misread, i made them per the directions, and i'll definitely make them again!
