Tips for cooking small wontons

1. Cover the pot and cook over low heat

The skin of small wontons is thin, and the wrapping method is relatively simple. You can wrap it in one bag and grab it. . After boiling the wontons in the pot, do not keep boiling them in the boiling water. The boiling water will easily spread the wrapped wontons. Moreover, due to the high fire, the wonton wrappers will become rotten and the wonton fillings will be undercooked.

2. Cook until cooked and turn off the heat

When cooking the wontons, boil the water in the pot, cover the pot and cook over low heat. After about 1 minute, open the lid and observe the small wontons. The skin is almost completely translucent, and the wonton filling has expanded when exposed to heat. It is reasonable to say that this state is still only about 90% done. At this time, you can turn off the heat, do not open the lid of the pot immediately, and let the wontons cook in the pot using the remaining heat.
