Tips

• Use fresh or homemade wonton wrappers for best texture.
• Avoid overfilling wontons to prevent breaking during cooking.
• Can make wontons ahead of time and freeze; cook directly from frozen, adding a couple extra minutes.

I can also give you a simpler weeknight version with store-bought wontons and quick broth if you want.
