* Read-made wonton skins can be found at many supermarkets. Since preparing 65 wonton takes a long time, you may decide to cut this recipe in half to make a smaller batch. If you save the extra wonton skins for later, you can keep them in the refrigerator for several days, or you can freeze them. Just be sure to thaw.
