Pre-made wrappers tend to be drier and firmer than those you make from scratch, so pleating and closing can be a difficult. You may want to scrap the pleats altogether. Make sure you really pinch the wrapper together firmly when closing. Keep a bowl of water and a pastry brush handy so you can wet the edges of the wrapper to help seal it securely.

You can make homemade dumplings with commercially prepared wonton wrappers. Let the dough rest and steam in the bag for 15 minutes. Stretch dough into a bagel-type shape. Then cut in half to form 2 equal-sized logs. Take one log and roll it to about 2cm in diameter. Cut into even pieces each log should make about 10 pieces that are about 10g per piece.
Roll each piece into a ball. Take one ball and use a plastic cup or small rolling pin to roll the ball into a flat circle. Then roll the edges of the circle thinner than the centre. You should finish up with a wrapper about the size of your palm. Place wrapper onto a floured surface and continue the same process with the remaining dough. When using from frozen — thaw for about an hour outside of the freezer. Carefully separate the wrappers and sprinkle each with extra flour.

They crisp up when fried to a golden brown, but don't "shatter" in your mouth like fried spring rolls or lumpia more on them to come. Egg rolls can also be baked, but they're more likely to have a chewy texture that isn't found in tradition version of the dish.
Their thickness makes them ideal for holding more moist ingredients like certain vegetables or fatty meats, which could make other wrapper varieties soggy.

The theory is that Japanese soldiers returning from World War II in China brought back the dish's concept to their homeland.
Gyoza are recognizable by the pleated folding technique that gives each dumpling a half-moon shape. The traditional cooking method is to pan-fry one side of the gyoza until crispy, then add a dash of water and cover to steam the remaining part of the dough. The resulting dish is simultaneously crisp and tender. Common gyoza fillings include ground pork, wood ear mushrooms, scallions, shrimp, and cabbage.

Made with a blend of rice flour and tapioca flour, each piece of rice paper starts off with a dry and stiff paper-like texture that's nearly see through.
But the rice paper magically transforms into a pliable and chewy ingredient once it's had a quick dip into water. It's then rolled into non-fried spring rolls and summer rolls that are filled with ingredients like raw or cooked vegetables, herbs, cooked meats or seafood, and rice noodles.
Rice paper rolls are great for no-cook dishes, plus they're also naturally gluten-free and vegan-friendly.
The only downside is that once they've sat for a while, the rice paper wrapper becomes gummy, so spring and summer rolls are best eaten within an hour of making them. In Vietnam, a spring roll often relies on the rice paper mentioned above for a fresh, no-cook roll. But as early Vietnamese people emigrated to the United States, they found that rice paper was a commodity that wasn't easily purchased. So instead, many Vietnamese restaurants began serving spring rolls that are fried until incredibly crispy in a wheat flour-based wrapper that's common throughout east- and southeast-Asian cuisines.
This wheat version of spring roll wrappers is often in the refrigerated section of grocery stores and is much thicker and more opaque than rice paper.
