Tahu Bakso/Baso (Meat-Stuffed Tofu)
Cut to make a small hole on tofus. Fill with the meat paste. Steam until the filling is cooked.

Pangsit Kukus (Steamed Wontons)
1. Lay a wonton wrapper in front of you. Wet the edges.
2. Put 2 to 3 teaspoons of filling in the middle, taking care not to get too close to the edges. Gather up the edges of the wrapper and gently pleat so that it forms a basket shape.

Pangsit Goreng (Fried Wontons)
Fried wontons can be with filling or without. If you choose the filling ones, go take a look my previous post (how to make pangsit goreng). No filling, all you need is deep fry the skins.
