Wonton (Pierogi) is a dish originating from Eastern Europe, which can be used as a side dish or even as a main dish. Wontons are easy to make – if wontons are already cooked and frozen (as most brands do) you can make boiled, pan-fried, grilled and so on. If you have uncooked frozen wontons, the easiest way to prepare them is to boil them, then sauté them or not, it’s up to you.
Pan-fried wonton with onions and mushrooms
- 12 cooked frozen wontons (approx. 450g)
- 4 tablespoons butter soup
- 0.75 cups (180g) sliced onion
- 0.75 cups (180g) sliced mushrooms
Steps
Boiled cooked frozen wonton
Boiling wonton in the microwave is the fastest way. Place frozen wontons in a large microwaveable bowl. Fill the wonton with water completely. Microwave the bowl and cook on high power for 5 minutes, then carefully remove the bowl to check if the wontons are soft and hot. Drain off the water and use wonton. [1] X Research Source
- A 5-minute cooking time is usually enough to boil a 450g bag with about 12 wontons.
- Do not cover the bowl while cooking in the microwave.
Use the stove to boil wontons. For a 450g bag with about 12 wontons, you should cook at least 2 liters of water in a large pot. Place frozen wontons in a bowl and boil until all float to the surface, then cook for an additional 1-2 minutes – the total cooking time is usually about 5-7 minutes. Drain the water from the pot or use a spoon with holes to scoop out the wontons. [2] X Research Source
- Remember that frozen wontons are fully cooked, so you only need to boil them briefly.
- If you are going to boil and sauté, you can remove the wontons as soon as they float to the surface. Use a paper towel to dry the wontons before frying.
Pan-fry wontons while still frozen or after boiling. Add about 0.25 cups (60 ml) of butter, olive oil, or a mixture of butter and olive oil to the pan and turn on the heat to medium. Carefully place the wontons in the pan and cook until they are soft and hot, turning light brown. Turn over frequently while cooking. [3] X Research Sources
- If you pan-fried wontons in a frozen state, it takes about 8-10 minutes to cook a pack of 12 wontons.
- If you have lightly boiled it, it only takes about 2-3 minutes for the wontons to turn light brown. [4] X Research Sources
Bake frozen wontons for crunch. Preheat the oven to about 200 degrees Celsius, and place a bag of about 12 wontons in a baking dish sprayed with cooking oil. Bake the wontons for 18-20 minutes, turn over half way through, and wait until the wontons turn light brown.
- For a deeper brown, spray more oil on the top of the wontons before baking, or brush with melted butter.
Deep-fry in oil if you want crispy wonton. Choose a deep pan or large pot and pour 5-8 cm of cooking oil (for example, vegetable, canola or peanut oil). Heat the oil to 180 degrees Celsius, then carefully insert each wonton with a slotted spoon. Fry for a minimum of 4 minutes (until all floats), then remove the wontons from the pot and place on a plate lined with paper towels. [5] X Research Sources
- Use a kitchen thermometer to measure the oil temperature.
- Remember to pour in enough oil to completely submerge the wontons. If the pan or pot isn’t big enough to fry an entire bag of wontons, divide them into 2 or more batches.
- Do not drop wontons into the oil to avoid splashing the oil.
Cook uncooked frozen wonton

Bring to a boil 2 liters of salted water or more. Pour water into a large pot and place on the stove over high heat. Add a large pinch of salt to the water when it is just boiling.
- Use 2 liters of water to cook 8-10 wontons – approximately 450g.
Put the wontons in the pot, stir well and adjust the temperature. When the water is completely boiling, place the frozen wontons in the pot, being careful not to splash the boiling water. The wonton will sink right away so you need to stir it well so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot. Adjust the temperature if necessary so that the water comes to a simmer. [6] X Research Sources
- Open the pot lid while cooking wonton.
Boil wontons until they float to the surface. Total cooking time is usually about 5 minutes. If you plan to sauté the wontons after boiling, take them out at this time. [7] X Research Sources
- However, if you only want to boil (i.e. not sauté) then cook for another 2-3 minutes after they float to the surface. Then drain the water or use a slotted spoon to scoop out the wontons and place them in a bowl, stirring in some butter and/or olive oil. At this point, the wonton is ready to use.
Use a paper towel to dry the wontons if you want to sauté them. After boiling the wontons until they float to the surface (about 5 minutes), scoop out the wontons with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Use a paper towel to pat the wontons dry to remove excess water.
- If you don’t absorb the excess water, the oil will “splash” when you put the wontons in the pan to fry.

Melt 0.25 cups (60ml) butter and/or oil in a large saucepan. Turn the stove to medium heat and add butter, olive oil, or a mixture of butter and olive oil to the pan. Heat the pan and oil for 2-3 minutes. [8] X Research Sources
- This amount of oil is enough to fry 450g wonton (about 12 pieces).
Sauté wonton for 3-4 minutes then flip. Carefully place each wonton in the hot oil. Separate the wonton pieces so they don’t touch each other – if the pan doesn’t have enough room, divide it into batches. Fry the wontons for 3 minutes then check the underside. If it hasn’t turned golden brown yet, fry it for another minute.
Flip the wonton face. When the underside of the wonton is a satisfactory golden color, flip it over and fry for another 3-4 minutes. When the other side turns light brown, you can take it out of the pan to use.
Recipe: Pan-fried Wonton with Onions and Mushrooms
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d6/Cook-Frozen-Pierogies-Step-13.jpg/v4-460px-Cook-Frozen-Pierogies-Step-13. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d6/Cook-Frozen-Pierogies-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Cook-Frozen-Pierogies-Step- 13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Melt 4 tablespoons (60 g) butter in a large saucepan. Place the pan on the stove and bring to a boil over medium heat. Melting time is about 2-3 minutes.
- If desired, you can use 2 tablespoons (30 g) of butter and 30 ml of olive oil.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/36/Cook-Frozen-Pierogies-Step-14.jpg/v4-460px-Cook-Frozen-Pierogies-Step-14. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/36/Cook-Frozen-Pierogies-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Cook-Frozen-Pierogies-Step- 14.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Place 12 cooked frozen wontons in the pan. Carefully place each wonton into the pan so that the hot butter doesn’t splatter.
- A standard bag of frozen wontons has about 12 pieces.
- If you’re using uncooked frozen wontons, boil them on the stovetop (until they float) or in the microwave (for 5 minutes), then pat dry before placing them in the pan.
Place 0.75 cups (180g) of sliced onions and 0.75 cups (180g) of sliced mushrooms into the pan. You just need to pour onions and mushrooms on top of the wontons, then use grits to mix in the wontons.
- If you don’t like mushrooms, use 1.5 cups (360g) of onions and omit the mushrooms.
Cover the pan for 2 minutes and then flip the wonton over. Cover the pan and cook the wonton, onion, and mushroom mixture for 2 minutes over medium heat. Then, open the lid and turn all the wontons over, toss the onions and mushrooms with a gravel.
- At this point you will see the wonton turn light brown.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/ae/Cook-Frozen-Pierogies-Step-17.jpg/v4-460px-Cook-Frozen-Pierogies-Step-17. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/ae/Cook-Frozen-Pierogies-Step-17.jpg/v4-728px-Cook-Frozen-Pierogies-Step- 17.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Fry the wontons for 2 more minutes in a covered pan. Cover the pan and cook for 2 more minutes. Then open the lid, flip the wonton, and stir the onion and mushrooms again.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/93/Cook-Frozen-Pierogies-Step-18.jpg/v4-460px-Cook-Frozen-Pierogies-Step-18. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/93/Cook-Frozen-Pierogies-Step-18.jpg/v4-728px-Cook-Frozen-Pierogies-Step- 18.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Cover the pan and keep checking the wonton every minute. Continue to open the lid of the pan, flip the wonton over and stir in the onion and mushrooms until all the mixture turns to the desired brown color. Total time to fry wonton until the outside turns a nice brown color is 14-16 minutes.
- If the wontons turn brown in 12 minutes or less, reduce the heat to medium-low for a minimum of 14 minutes total cooking time. Press the center of the wonton to check for softness and doneness.
- Once the wontons turn a nice brown color, you’re good to go!
