🧒 Kid-Friendly Version
To make this soup kid-friendly, skip ginger and garlic in the broth. Use plain tofu filling and serve with soft vegetables like carrots. Cut wontons in half for easy eating.
I don’t know what won ton wrappers you used but the ones i used wouldn’t EVEN seal. Threw the whole lot down the garbage disposal.
Oh no, we are so sorry to hear that happened, how frustrating! 😞 The trick to getting wonton wrappers to seal perfectly is to dampen the edges with a little water using your fingertip before folding — press them firmly together and hold for a few seconds to make sure they bond well. Also make sure the filling is not too wet as excess moisture can prevent a good seal. Store-bought wrappers can vary quite a bit between brands so look for ones labelled specifically as wonton wrappers rather than spring roll wrappers as they are thinner and seal much better. We hope you give them another try — the soup is absolutely worth it! 🌱❤️
