Chicken wontons for soup or fried!

I have this in my freezer all the time. It’s a flexible recipe. I’ve added shredded carrots, cabbage, Seseme oil, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, kale or chard- really anything lying around.
I’ve tried to use pork, but you’d need to add breadcrumbs, cornstarch and an egg

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix well. If this is your first time making this, cook a bit of the mix up before you proceed to test for flavor levels and adjust is necessary

  2. 2

    Make the wontons. You’ll need a small bowl of water, the wonton wrappers and filling.
    There are many ways to make a wonton. The two easiest are making a triangle or rectangle, or what I call pillows.
    To make pillows, place 2 tsp filling on one side of the wrapper, leaving at least 1/8” edge. With your finger, add a ring of water around the whole edge of the wrapper. Press the opposite sides together, forming right angles, like a pillow. Make sure to seal all the edges and get out any air.

  3. 3

    Put the wontons in the freezer for 2 hrs or until frozen and transfer to a freezer bag.

  4. 4

    When you’re ready to eat- SOUP
    Heat chicken broth, or a packet of Lipton chicken soup mix for 5 min and serve

  5. 5

    Dumplings- heat oil on medium heat until piping hot. Add dumplings and cook on each side until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
