RECIPE NOTES
TIPS TO PREVENT WONTONS FROM TEARING

1. There are a couple trìcks to keepìng wontons sealed:
2. Make sure your wonton wrappers don’t become brìttle at any poìnt.  You wìll want to keep any wrappers you are not ìmmedìately workìng wìth under a damp cloth or ìn a sealed bag.  Once the wonton wrappers are fìlled, you wìll want to keep them under a damp cloth.
3. Don’t use too much water to seal the wontons.  Too much water wìll cause the edges to not stìck together.  Only lìghtly dampen one edge and fasten ìt to a dry edge.
4. Once you fìnìsh fìllìng a batch of wontons and remove them to parchement paper, wìpe your work area wìth a paper towel so ìt ìs dry every tìme you start makìng a new batch of wontons.
5. Don’t overcook your wontons.  Wontons easìly tear when they overcook.  You wìll want to remove them from the broth as soon as they are cooked to servìng bowls and then ladle broth to the ìndìvìdual bowls.
