Here is a quick recipe ahead of the Memorial Day weekend in the U.S. The other day I found just ripe avocados, tomatoes and limes at a grocery store and decided fresh salsa and guacamole would be my dinner. I didn't need to buy chips, because I had mandupi (만두피 - wonton wrappers) in my freezer.
If you are like me at all, you'd have a pack of frozen mandupi always ready to go. You can make dumplings (만두 - man du) with them, but you can also lay them out on a sheet pan and bake them like chips. If you're just having the chips, I imagine you could add grated garlic or cheese or both - actually I should try this next time. If you're using them as a scooper for dips, drops of oil is all you need before baking them.
To bake mandupi chips)
Wonton wrappers (만두피 - man du pi)
Canola oil
Salt
Optional) toasted sesame seeds
Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees. Cut wonton wrappers (만두피 - man du pi) in half. Brush both sides of the wrappers with canola oil and spread them on a baking sheet.
Optional) I sprinkled toasted sesame seeds after brushing the chips with oil, however most of the seeds didn't stay on chips. But the ones that do stay on chips, they look pretty good. You can decide for yourself.
Bake them for 8 to 11 minutes until the edges of the chips turn golden brown (8 minutes, like the ones on pictures above) or the whole chips turn light brown (10-11 minutes). To season, sprinkle with salt right out of the oven. Transfer to the rack and cool to room temperature.
Any leftover can be stored in an airtight container or a sealed plastic bag for a couple of days.
