Notes

  • You simmer the broth to enhance the flavor of the broth.
  • Be sure to add the wontons when frozen, or they may overcook and fall apart.
  • We recommend waiting to add the wontons to the soup right before serving.
  • We do not recommend using Chung's brand wontons for this soup. They fell apart almost immediately. We recommend the Trader Joe's brand of gyoza or a similar type of gyoza.
