Instructions
 

  • **Prepare the Wontons:**

  • - Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add 1 teaspoon of filling to the center.
  • - Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it into a triangle, and press the edges to seal. Bring the two bottom corners together and seal with a dab of water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

  • - Add bok choy or spinach (if using) and simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes.
