Commercial won ton wrappers are traditionally made with flour and water with very little egg and in the case of Nasoya brand, only a little egg white. NASOYA: Pasta > Won Ton Wraps
This is what gives them their texture and the propensity to "bubble up" when fried.
Real Italian ravioli pasta is made with whole eggs and has a "softer" texture and doesn't "bubble up".
