In reply to Ellie. You’re absolutely right – Western and Asian chicken broths have different flavor profiles, and it can make a big difference in the final dish. (I’ve removed the link you included, as external links aren’t allowed in the comments. Hope you understand, and thanks for sharing your thoughts!)

YES! I just found out that the broth I use is wrong type for Asian inspired foods.
Western type broth/stock is very different from Asian broth/stock.

In reply to Ellie. Thanks for the kind words! I’m thrilled the filling worked out for you! For chicken broth, using bones and skin-on cuts along with ginger and scallions really boosts the flavor. Happy cooking!

Thank you very much for the tutorial. I tried many times to make fillings (internet is full of them!), but somehow, it never turned out. Something was lacking but I didn’t know what!
This filling, for the first time ever, tasted just the way I like. It’s a keeper! I am trilled!
I do have a little problem with making broth to taste good. It always works out for soups other than Asian. Can’t figure out why. Perhaps chickens are too lean anymore? Either way, thank you again! AWESOME!
Love your website!

In reply to Blake. Thank you, Blake, for taking the time to share your experience. Very happy to hear you enjoyed the dish. Yes, having frozen wontons is a lifesaver!

This is going to become a staple recipe for us for sure! I needed to get rid of 0.5lb of ground pork that was sitting in the fridge, and I made about 50 wontons with it. We froze half of them. It gave me plenty of time to practice my wrapping skills haha.

I added 2 cloves of garlic to my filling and used the white pepper and five spice powder combined. These guys are little flavor bombs! This is such a simple but flavorful and comforting soup. Now that I have pre-wrapped wontons on standby I could probably make this again in about 10 minutes. On that note, I would definitely advise eating this as soon as you finish making it and do not store your cooked wontons in the broth if you have leftovers, they just disintegrate LOL!

In the future I will remove the wontons once they’re cooked, and store them separately until it’s time to eat. I would just add them back into my broth one serving at a time to keep them nice and plump.

We’ll be steaming some more tomorrow to eat with chili oil for lunch, and I can’t wait to try it!
