How to cook wontons frozen in the refrigerator

Cook frozen wontons right after cooking to avoid sticking them after thawing. Do not touch them before putting them in the pot. Add an appropriate amount of water to the pot and boil it. When the water starts to bubble, pour the wontons in, then stir constantly to prevent them from sticking. Add cold water 2 to 3 times and boil. Prepare seasoning according to your taste. After cooking, scoop out the soup first and then the wontons.

First, take the frozen wontons out of the refrigerator and take them out when you want to cook them. There is no need to thaw them in advance. Frozen wontons are placed in grids. Do not move them before putting them in the pot to prevent them from breaking. Then add an appropriate amount of water to the pot to ensure that the wontons will not touch the bottom of the pot after being cooked to avoid sticking to the pot.

Frozen wontons are different from dumplings. They need to be put into the pot with hot water. Pour the wontons in when the water in the pot is bubbling but not completely boiling. Otherwise, the wonton skin will be cooked first, while the filling will still be raw. After the wontons are put into the pot, they need to be stirred from time to time to prevent them from sticking to the pot. Be careful to stir slowly to prevent the wontons from breaking. Add cold water 2 to 3 times and bring to a boil.

While the wontons are cooking, you can prepare the soup. Take a clean bowl and put seaweed, dried shrimp and other seasonings. You can adjust according to your taste. When all the wontons float on the water, it means they are cooked. Scoop a little soup into the bowl before scooping the wontons. This will make the sauce more flavorful and the wontons will not stick together.
