Fusia Asian Inspirations Mini Wontons

If you enjoy Chinese food, you’ve probably tried wontons at some point. Wontons are a type of Chinese dumpling that can be filled with a variety of ingredients from meat to veggies to spices. Wontons are often boiled, served in soup, or deep fried. They’re different from potstickers, which are traditionally steamed in a frying pan while allowing one side to get golden crispy.

If you have a craving for takeout-style food, Aldi occasionally sells both wontons and potstickers. Today, we’re looking at some mini wontons Aldi sometimes sells.

Fusia Asian Inspirations Mini Wontons cost $5.89 for a 24-ounce bag at the time of publication. They come in chicken and vegetable or pork and vegetable varieties.

These are an Aldi Find, which means they’re only in stores for a short time. (And no, Aldi won’t ship them to you after they sell out at your local store.)

If you’re watching out for allergens, both varieties contain wheat and soy.

These can be prepared on the stove top, boiled, microwaved, or made into wonton soup.

To prepare on the stove top, add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of a small nonstick frying pan and heat on medium heat. Add 10-13 frozen wontons and heat until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

To boil, add 10-13 frozen wontons to a pot of boiling water and heat for 1-2 minutes. Drain and serve.

To microwave, place 13 frozen wontons on a microwave-safe dish lined with a wet paper towel. Cover with another wet paper towel and heat on high for 1-2 minutes.

To make wonton soup, bring chicken or vegetable broth to a boil. Add frozen wontons and heat for 1-2 minutes. Add baby bok choy and green onion and season to taste. For an even heartier meal, add udon or ramen noodles.

Ready to eat after cooking in a skillet.

I usually prepare these on the stove top. I add most of the bag to the skillet, so it takes longer to heat and brown the wontons than the directions indicate, but these are usually done within 10-15 minutes. My family likes these mini wontons but prefers the larger potstickers from Aldi. I want to try making wonton soup with ramen noodles someday. (If I try the soup, I’ll update this post.)
