In fact, whether it is freshly made wontons or frozen wontons, it is not suitable to be cooked with cold water. Because we need to know that the wonton skin is very thin.

2. Do not stir

Some people may not stir the wontons when cooking them.

Therefore, during the heating process, the wonton skin is particularly easy to be overcooked and the filling will be exposed. So when cooking wontons, we should stir them while cooking.

3. Cooking time is too long

The last one is that when cooking wontons, you must manage the time well. Most people in life may think that there is more meat in wontons, so the cooking time will be longer.

Generally, when the wontons float up, they are basically cooked. If you serve them at this time and add some coriander or something like that, the taste will be particularly good. If you take more than ten minutes to cook wontons, the wonton skin will easily become mushy and the meat filling may melt into the soup. So when cooking wontons, try not to make this mistake.
