Why You’re Going to Love This Gluten-Free Wonton Wrappers Recipe

A gluten-free wrapper that you can use for all sorts of recipes - Gluten-free dumpling wrappers will be just the thing you need to make all of your Asian favorite's gluten-free. You can think of them as gluten-free gyoza wrappers, gluten-free wonton wrappers, gluten-free dumpling wrappers, or even turn them into gluten-free pierogi wrappers!

Perfect to make ahead - Gluten-free wonton wrappers freeze well, so you can make up a large batch and save them for later. 

Just 4 Ingredients - It doesn't take many ingredients to make these, but it will take a bit of work in the kitchen. Grab your favorite gluten-free flour blend and some eggs and get to work!

Ingredients In Gluten-Free Wonton Wrappers

Gluten-Free Flour - Use an all-purpose flour that includes Xanthan gum. We suggest our gluten-free flour blend, (a blend of white rice and tapioca flours, plus potato starch and xanthan gum) but these should work with any blend that is rice flour based. 

Eggs - Let your eggs come to room temperature before making this wonton wrapper dough. Trust me, this little trick makes it so much easier to get a smooth gluten-free dough. 

Sea Salt - Just a bit to give the wrappers some flavor. 

Warm Water - This is what will moisten the flour and starches and bring everything together. 

Equipment Needed for These Gluten-Free Wonton Wrappers

• Rolling Pin - You will need a rolling pin to get the GF wonton wrappers nice and thin.
• Mixing Bowls - These are always handy for mixing ingredients. 
• Stock Pot - This is a deep stock pot to make soup.
• Spider Strainer - This strainer is great when straining off the oil.
• Wonton Soup Bowls and Spoons - These bowls are nice and deep.

How to Make Gluten Free Wonton Wrappers

First, let's make the dough! Grab a large mixing bowl and whisk together your gluten-free flour and a pinch of sea salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and water until well combined. Now, the magic happens—slowly stir the egg mixture into the flour blend, mixing until you get a sticky, pliable dough. If it seems too dry, don’t panic! Just add a little extra water, one splash at a time, until it comes together. The exact amount might vary depending on your flour blend, so trust your instincts.

After the dough, it's time to roll! Lightly dust a clean surface and your rolling pin with gluten-free flour (this keeps everything from sticking). Then, gently roll the dough out in all directions until it’s whisper-thin—almost see-through! Try to keep it evenly rolled so there aren’t any thick or thin spots that could affect the final texture. Patience and a little elbow grease will go a long way here.

Once your dough is beautifully thin, move on to cutting the wonton wrappers. Grab a pizza cutter or a sharp knife and slice it into neat 3-inch squares. If you’re dreaming of gluten-free egg rolls, go ahead and make them larger. This recipe should give you about 16 squares, but don’t waste those scraps—just gather them up, re-roll, and cut again to get the most out of your dough.

Finally, you’re ready to use them! Fill your wonton wrappers right away for a fresh batch of dumplings, or store them for later. If you're planning ahead, just layer them with parchment paper, pop them in an airtight container, and keep them in the fridge for a few days or freeze them for longer storage. Either way, you've now got the key to amazing homemade gluten-free wontons at your fingertips!

Gluten-Free Wonton Soup Recipe

Fill your gluten-free wonton wrappers with a simple ground chicken filling and toss them into a pot of broth to make the easiest and most delicious soup!

For The Ground Chicken Wontons:

1. Mix together ground chicken, gluten-free soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, honey, and chopped green onions. 
2. Place one teaspoon in the center of each gluten-free wonton wrapper. Brush the edges with water and fold to seal, pressing out any air as you go. Cook them right away or cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days. 

Easy Chicken Wonton Soup: 

1. Boil the wontons in 4 cups of chicken broth or stock for about 5 minutes or until the meat is fully cooked and the wrappers are tender. Remove the wontons with a strainer and divide them into 4 soup bowls. 
2. Add baby Bok choi to the broth and wilt it. Then add that to the bowls as well. 
3. Divide the broth between the four soup bowls and garnish with chopped green onion. 

How To Fill GF Wontons

Creating the perfect wonton shape is easier than it might look! Here's how to fill and form wontons or dumplings. 

First, be sure that you have a bit of water in your hand. Water on the edges of the wrapper will help the edges to stick together. 

Second, work very carefully. Gluten-free wonton wrappers are more delicate than wheat-based ones and can tear easily. Use a spray bottle of water to spritz the wrappers if they are drying out and keep them covered. 

Wontons should be made by adding a teaspoon of filling to the center of the wrapper. Fold the square into a triangle shape over the filling, pressing to seal and remove any air. Then press the two corners of the triangle together to create a looped wonton. 

Dumplings such as potstickers or gyoza can be made in many different shapes, but often they are shaped into a half-moon. You can do this with a square dumpling wrapper, but it will be easier if you trim off the corners to use a circle instead. 

Add a teaspoon of filling to the center of the wrapper, and then fold in half and seal. Gently pick up the dumpling and make small folds along the sealed edge to create the classic dumpling look.

As for fillings and complimentary flavors, you can't go wrong with bok choy, chives, or shrimp. And for a vegan dumpling (see my substitution recommendation below), stick with greens. Bok choy is a great choice because it holds up well even in soup, it provides such a satisfying crunch with a bunch of delicious flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Wonton Wrappers Gluten-Free?

Most wonton wrappers you'd find at an Asian restaurant (or the grocery store) are made with wheat flour.  This means that wontons, egg rolls, and dumplings are generally off limits, while many other Asian dishes are safe to consume. Heartbreaking, I know. But that's why this recipe is a crucial addition to the repertoire. 

Once you master this recipe for gluten-free wonton wrappers, you'll be able to enjoy all of your favorite dumplings or a delicious and easy gluten-free wonton soup!

Guide On How To Roll GF Wonton Wrappers Evenly

1. Place gluten-free flour on your counter surface or pastry mat.
2. Place flour on your rolling pin.
3. Take half of the wonton wrapper dough and roll it outward in all directions. It needs to be evenly thinned out.
4. Cut your squares with a pastry cutter or knife. This recipe should make about 16 3-inch squares. 

What Do You Do If The Dough Is Sticking On The Rolling Pin?

As per above, ensure you place flour on your rolling pin. 

What Substitutions / Replacements Can I Make in These Gluten-Free Wonton Wrappers?

Egg-free - Try aquafaba as an egg substitute. I have not tried it yet.

If you're trying to make vegan wonton wrappers, that swp will be crucial. Eggs are a staple in my recipe, and I'd swap them for aquafaba if I wanted to make them for my vegan friends.

Are Wonton Wrappers Just Rice Paper?

Oh wow, I wish! It would be nice if wonton wrappers were just rice paper because then they'd be gluten-free already. Unfortunately, rice paper is only used in certain applications, such as fresh spring rolls and some types of fried egg rolls. Most store-bought wonton wrappers aren't gluten-free either. That's why I made this recipe!

While you can create gluten-free dumplings using rice wonton wrappers cut from spring roll wraps, they aren't quite the soft wontons that you're used to. That's where this recipe really shines! These gluten-free wonton wrappers are just like the real thing. 

Where Do You Buy Gluten-Free Wonton Wrappers?

This is such a challenge! One reason I made this recipe is because it's so hard to find out where to buy them. I can't find any worth recommending at Amazon, Walmart, or Target. Instead, just make them from scratch!

On a related note, some people ask whether nasoya wonton wrappers are gluten free. As far as I can tell, they're not. 

How Do You Fix Sticky Wonton Dough?

I totally get it—rolling out gluten-free dough can be frustrating, especially when it sticks! Don’t worry, you’re not alone in this struggle. Here's how to fix sticky dough.

Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper instead of directly on the surface. This helps prevent sticking without overloading the dough with extra flour, which can make it tough. You can also lightly grease your rolling pin with a little oil or dust it with tapioca starch. Sometimes, different gluten-free flours absorb moisture differently, so a small tweak can make a big difference. And remember, this can take time! Be patient and with practice, you'll get it just right.

Can You Freeze Homemade GF Wonton Wrappers For Later?

Yes, you can absolutely freeze these gluten-free wonton wrappers, but a little extra care goes a long way! The key is to work quickly to prevent them from drying out and, just as importantly, to keep them from sticking together.

To freeze them properly, start by cutting the dough into squares. As soon as they’re cut, layer each one between sheets of waxed paper, stacking them neatly. This simple step ensures they won’t turn into one big, frustrating lump when you’re ready to use them. They can be frozen for up to two months!

Once your stack is ready, pop it into a freezer bag or an airtight container, then store it in the freezer for up to two months. When it’s time to use them, resist the urge to rush the thawing process. Instead, let them defrost slowly in the fridge overnight. Keep them in the same container so they retain their moisture and stay pliable. With this method, your homemade gluten-free wonton wrappers will be ready to go whenever dumpling cravings strike!

How To Store Homemade Gluten-Free Wonton Wrappers

If you want to make these wrappers and use them later in the week, you can store them the same way (layered with wax paper) in an airtight container in the fridge. They will stay fresh for up to 5 days this way.

How To Keep Gluten-Free Wonton Wrappers From Drying Out

While you're filling your gluten-free wontons, keep the ones that you aren't using covered with a slightly damp paper towel so that they don't dry out.

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 5 minutes

Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

For the GF wonton wrappers:

• 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend, plus more for sprinkling½ teaspoon sea salt
• 2 eggs at room temperature, beaten
• 2 tablespoons warm water, plus more if needed

For the filling:

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 small green onions, chopped

For the soup:

• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 small green onion, chopped
• baby bok choy halved, as much as you like

Instructions

1. In a large bowl whisk together the flour and sea salt. In a separate bowl combine the eggs and water. Slowly stir the egg mixture into the flour blend and mix until a sticky dough forms.
2. Dust a clean surface and a rolling pin with flour. Roll the dough gently in all directions to be as thin as possible (less than ⅛-inch thick).
3. To make the wonton wrappers cut out squares with a pizza cutter (approx. 3-inch squares). Use the wrappers in your recipe before they dry out. Or cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Bring them to room temperature before using them and spritz them with water if necessary.

To Make the Wontons

1. Combine the ground chicken, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and green onions in a bowl. 
2. Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Brush 2 edges with water and fold to seal, pressing out the air. Brush water on one corner and bring corners together, pressing to seal. Place the wrapped wontons into a covered container as you work so they don’t dry out.

To Make Wonton Soup

1. Boil the wontons in 4 cups of chicken broth for about 5 minutes or until the meat is cooked and the wrappers are tender.
2. Remove the wontons with a strainer and divide them into bowls.
3. Wilt the bok choy in the stock.
4. Divide the soup into bowls and serve with the wilted bok choy and some additional chopped green onion. Serve hot.

Notes

• If your gluten-free flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum, add 2 teaspoons to the flour mixture. As the gluten-free dough is more fragile than the regular one, adding xanthan gum makes the dough more elastic. It may be a little bit crumbly at the beginning but if you continue kneading it, it will become smooth. 
• To Store: Stack wrappers between waxed paper and place them in an airtight container. Seal tightly and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost frozen wrappers overnight in the refrigerator.
• Filling Variations: The ground chicken in this recipe can be replaced with ground pork, ground shrimp, or a combination of proteins.
• Feel free to use these wrappers with other fillings or in other recipes for potstickers, dumplings, or gyoza. They can be prepared boiled, steamed, pan-fried, or deep fried.
