Warning

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.
