Where in the world are wontons?

    I'm in Cork and cannot find wonton wrappers anywhere!
    I've scoured the city and haven't had any luck.
    I'm a Wagamama fiend and recently bought the cookbook.
    The gyoza are crying out to be made and I went and bought all the ingredients, assuming that wontons would be the easy bit.
    Not so.
    Anyone have any idea where I'd get them?

    So far searched: Tesco, English Market, Quay Co-Op, any ethnic shop I came across in town.

    Have you checked the frozen section in your best asian/chinese supplier?

    Just use filo pastry - it's the exact same thing, just not pre-cut into wonton shapes.

    Have you tried the Asian supermarket on the Coal Quay?
    ... but the filo pastry idea sounds nice and easy.

    Yes, that's where you'll get them. They come in packets of about 50, frozen.
    Cheap, as far as I remember.

    As for the filo; I ran out of the wonton wrappers and used filo to finish off my filling. Not nearly as nice. All mine were steamed. Might not make such a difference if they're fried.
