Cooking tips for wonton soup:
Wonton:
Traditional way to wrap wonton is to make sure they have a tail just like the first method I mentioned in this recipe.
Make sure don’t over cook or under cook the wonton. The best way to know if it’s cook through. Wonton is done when they are floating on the top of boiling water. If you worry not cook, let it boiling for a minute before taking them out.
Broth:
Lots of people like to make the broth with chicken, bones and boiling it for many hours. To keep it simple, I normally just use chicken broth or water and add some salt and green onion to make soup to serve with wonton.
